VOR Navigation Made Easy

You explain it great😃 thank you

Dude is so weird

ATC really loves it when a GA pilot knows and uses VORs for navigation. It relieves them of the task of focussing on a GA pilot who may need vectoring. When I reported my VFR position report with a Victor airway location tracking inbound or outbound on a radial ATC then knows that I'm a competent pilot who doesn't need any hand-holding. Also VOR navigation is satisfying and not that difficult with practice. All pilots should use VOR navigation as often as possible.

You've been making videos for quite some time now, you're a baby in this one! Good job man, keep it up.

Thank you for this video!!

Yeah this guy knows his stuff. Some many confusing videos out there.

Watching from my phone, I'm currently flying a 747 (with full passenger) right now and I have no idea how to land later. Wish me luck 👍

Thanks...from Kenya,East Africa

what simulaton is this?

12 years alredy passed 😅

Very educational

You should get an award for this video...so helpful its crazy

What software is this?

thank you

VOR tricky navigation made simple , thank you.

"The indication of a "FROM / TO" indicator of a CDI will shift from "TO / FROM" (and vice versa) when the value difference between the selected course and the measured radial passes WHAT in either direction."
So the answer is clearly 180 not 90

This didn’t help at all!

Brilliant

BUT HE DID NOT ASK YOU TO GO TO 270. HE ASKED YOU TO GOTO 090....FAIL

dude, thank you so much

What is the simulator? Both your lecture and this simulation helped to to figure out how to navigate in the space

This is the best video for VOR interception and tracking it has made it a piece for f cake for me

fantastic explanation

Tune, Identify, Intercept, Track. Inbound = (Radial on the) Bottom =TO indication; Outbound = (Radial on the) Top=FROM indication. Cement this into your head. Not rocket science.

great thanks!!!!!

I am late, but here I have been tinkering with some old classic planes in the simulator where GPS isn't there for navigation and you are left with VOR only.
However I have never been able to grasp the concept of this until this video came along.

Have mercy if someone today had to deal with NDB holding or approach work.
But on topic, I recall learning to VOR intersection hold with one VOR. Lots of cross tuning and those 5-T’s to stay the course.
Oh, and do it in a Huey with that damn greenhouse over head and the rotor flickering the Alabama sun.
No magenta back in 1989.

Can anyone explain, in this example when reporting inbound to tower would I say that we are inbound on the 270 radial? Or 090 radial inbound?

Remember kids. Bearing and heading are 2 different things. VORs care nothing about your heading.

Seen better VOR tutorials. Needs to remain disciplined on VOR usage terminology. For instance, checkout VOR basics on " Free Pilot Training" YT Channel.

Fabulous video

Jason, you have a good method of explaining not only how but why. Still learning and looking for a good instructor. Thanks, Moye.

This actually helped me so much! Wow, never been able to understand VORs/Radials until watching this video. Feeling a bit better about taking my PAR exam this coming week.

Awesome Jason. Love the instruction.

Could you please let us know the name of this 2D IFR flight training simulator?

Thank you very much for the excelent class

Excellent explanation - thank you. The simulation really helped make it understandable. That chart everyone uses doesn't.

If you are less than 180 ° Add 180°
If you are more than 180° Minus 180°.

That was actually the 270 radial To the station. In the video it's described as 090 radial but that would be in the green area.

This video is SUPER helpful! Thanks for posting!

Just started watching the video, gotta say, your channel has come a long way in 10 years lol jk.

I'm pretty sure that I watched another video somewhere that said that your bearing is the radial that you are currently on and the heading is the direction that you are traveling. You just said, unless I misunderstood you, that your bearing is the direction to the VOR station?? I'm confused.

Jason, why not fly to the VOR on that bearing then fly the radial 090? Why fly further than you have too?

I am proud of you guys i am from a disaster prone country and we need young pilots since our prime minister is going to build an international airport. Grateful if we could have a nexus regarding the subject. Want to invest in school. Welcome and thanks in anticipation.

Great stuff I always wanted to be a pilot but opportunities was found wanting

I've never flown any aircraft but thid deems fun .

I left MZeroA sometime ago, and I have solid reasons. However, Jason you cracked this one so well, thanks for sharing your knowledge. This is great!

Great effort and good simulations. Consistently confusing bearings and radials which makes it technically inaccurate and confusing for the student. It was not intercepting the 090 radial to the station he was intercepting the 270° radial tracking the zero Niner zero bearing TO the station. Terminology matters. There are not radials “to and from” the station, only radials from the station that you can track to and from the station. Sometimes explained as “you fly to the station by flying thru the station.”
