VOR navigation EXPLAINED (easy)! by CAPTAIN JOE

[@kylebeatty3466]

One of the best explanations of VOR navigation I've ever heard!

[@robertborchert932]

Correct! This is a beautiful summary.

[@My_AviationChannel]

The man is a legend

[@PersonalWings]

So clear and concise. Will share with my students.

[@marsgal42]

My introduction to VOR navigation was in the air. My instructor started with "VORs are really easy to use. Here's how..." I find them a lot easier to use in the air than to explain on the ground.

[@RomanoPRODUCTION]

obviously your life depends on it when your are in the air. On the ground? not much

[@fulcrum2951]

VOR in a nutshell

[@angelicwolf909]

Best and easiest explanation I've ever heard. Thank you.

[@potentiallywastedindividua9974]

Our Captain Joe has returned. The moment I saw the notification I immediately clicked on the video without second thought and it was worthwhile😎 Keep it up Captain❤️🤘😎

[@amaraziz8131]

Mzamo Mzileni ‘captain’ 😂 but he is a first officer ever noticed

[@alfredomarquez9777]

@@amaraziz8131 In many countries we affectionately call them both as "Captains", and sometimes refer to the four strip captain as "Commander" or "Commandant" in attention to his/her seniority and experience, but both pilots are called "Captains"... calling a first officer as "First-Officer" is simply not usual!

[@mrkoolaidman5975]

Well at the moment he made this video he is not a Captain he is a Sr First Officer he has 3 stripes on his boards.

[@JustasCepenas]

Hi Joe, what a perfect timing, Im half way in my PPL theory course and VOR is current topic! Your explanation made such a difference to understand VORs! Thank you!

[@edcoronado]

Were you by any chance doing the King Schools one?

[@crazykev6491]

Having just flown across the country from IAD to Dallas to Maui then home to SF to IAD I was able to figure out runway markings thanks to you. I too love the music at the end. Thanks for keeping us safe in the skies

[@mktwatcher]

This Is The Best, Clearest and Simplest Explanation of how to use VOR for Situational Awareness and Navigation That I've Seen on KZbin! Thank You For Sharing

[@laszlototh5139]

Thank you Joe for that great video on the importance of classic navigation. That remembers me when I was young lieutenant in signal troops in the 80's and I had to conduct my section through hills and valleys with the only help of map and compass. That was great time.

[@DivinWear]

Captain Joe, I'm a student pilot and this is truly the simplest and best explanation of operating the VOR. This has helped me so much and it's stuck in my memory. Sincerely, Thank you Sir.

[@Dulema]

I've been studying flying, actually flying, and learning about VOR's for 2 years now. This is the first time I understand how to navigate using them. Your video is the best! Thanks!

[@HAJJakob]

Nice Code Joe! Good to repetition of VOR navigation! My flight instructor gave me the advice that the radial I am on is always on the opposite side of the flag which makes it easy to determine the radial I‘m flying on when the needle is cantered.

[@MonteiroDM]

Amazing video! I'm a student pilot in Portugal and am about to enter the IFR part of the course. Always helpful to see your videos! Thank you Cap Joe!

[@DonWouter1]

L3? I have my vor approaches lesson today :)

[@felix63099]

Awesome video Joe! Very clear and easy to understand principles. Can't wait for your next one! THANK YOU!

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Great video Joe! I fly around vfr relying on SkyDemon and had forgotten how to even use VORs but this was an excellent refresher and reminded me how easy it is. I’m going to make a video to see how I get on!

[@johneckert1690]

You should do a couple videos on A.D.F. I know it is very old tech BUT some older aircraft have them and students should know how to use them properly. The only aircraft I have flown with glass panels, multi function displays or heads up displays are military. I don't fly them any more and the aircraft I do fly are old and simple like me. (Two com/nav's, an A,D.F. and a transponder with Mode C) If you really want to get into short lived nav aids do some videos on LORAN, That would really be a blast from the past for us old time stick guys..

[@douglascampbell5284]

I love your videos I want to become a pilot when I have time as I am a locomotive Engineer and don't have alot of free time. Keep up the outstanding work

[@SteveSheadDotCom]

Wow! Probably the simplest and easiest to understand explanation out there. Thank you! As a rusty pilot returning to the air, this has helped me relearn VOR. With the new normal being GPS and flight apps, I still want to remember, understand and be able to use VOR until the day it goes away.

[@michael7738]

After figuring out that I was initially tuned in to a DME station, I was finally able to fly a short trip from Helsinki Malmi (EFHF) to Turku (EFTU) only by instrument and without GPS. Thanks a lot for this briliant explanation! (Flight was done in simulator, so I hadn't had any lessons/testing before.)

[@jinxiecoco]

I’m a complete newb just starting my journey and I found this really helpful. You have a great way of explaining things. Thank you.

[@MobbyG]

Been having issues with VOR in my study tests. This helped me start getting a better handle on it. Thanks for all the videos you do!

[@erikbregnsbo9962]

i really love these videos cause they are so easy to understand and great for newer pilots

[@connork5339]

Great tech video. I have heard VOR nav explained before, but not so clearly and easy to understand as you have done. This is fascinating. Thanks.

[@markcomia9206]

I'm a programmer but still loving to watch Capt. Joe's channel.

[@bmorera8]

Can you make a video about step-climbing and when you should or should not use it? Thanks for all your videos!

[@snowman100]

Captain, I've watched this over and over, and all I can say is thank you for making easy explanations on this topic. Thank you again

[@rickblackwell6435]

Joe, I have read and followed several written and video explanations of VOR and this is the one that brought it all together with the basics first and great examples. Thank-you very much for taking the time to share your expertise.

[@aussieshedtalk7811]

Great video mate, I'm studying my CPL in Australia at the moment and wrapping my head around NDB's and VOR's has been difficult, but you this video has definitely helped !!

[@roeydaz]

Very true...as a professional Mariner I watch youngsters cling to glass screens oblivious to coastal navigation aids such as light houses, beacons etc. Failing to realise the importance of secondary/ back up means for cross check or GPS failure. Most unfortunate...the wind mill bit was interesting. Thanks Capt. Joe...!

[@King_Of_Cursez]

U rock! I'm gonna become a pilot for sure Ur videos are soo amazing Thanks man. Amazing work!

[@johnopalko5223]

You forgot the most important part. After tuning to the VOR, identify it! You want to make sure you are actually tuned to the VOR you wanted. Also, if the station is undergoing maintenance or testing, the identifier will be removed. No identifier == don't use this navaid.

[@davidb7328]

This is so important that it should be pinned to the top of the comments.

[@allthehandlesweretaken]

how do you indetify it?

[@johnopalko5223]

@@allthehandlesweretaken You listen to the signal. Here in the States and Canada, and, I think, everywhere in the Americas, every VOR has a three-letter Morse code identifier and most also have a voice identifier. Some, if not most, modern radios will decode the Morse ID and display it on the panel. I presume VORs in the rest of the world work the same way, but I don't know that for sure.

[@gooner72]

Another great technical video Joe, keep doing more of these please mate! I can picture the faces of your casual viewers frantically trying to understand all this but they should get it, both of your VOR videos are explained as simply as they can be..... they're perfect for beginners. You should be an instructor Joe, you have a knack for explaining complicated things in an easy to understand way.

[@paullestrange3173]

Outstanding Capt. Precise, simple use of VOR navigation.

[@Yatra-kj3zq]

Thank you very much for this wonderful educational video. I have seen many other videos on VOR, but your two videos are the best among them.

[@Renard380]

It's crazy how listening to someone else's explaination can make things so much easier. Thanks for this very clear and easy video!

[@timinator20o0]

Thankyou. Was on X-Plane and i couldnt figure out this tutorial level. it didnt explain things very well. Now it all makes so much sense. Very well explained.

[@tsht]

I have my PPL and never learned the trick to go to 45° to intercept a radial. Thanks for this :) I also learned to use two VOR to get the position, can be handy. I learned this on my exam day, we were VFR on top and he showed me how we would get to the airport with the two VORs, it was really nice to learn this way :)

I am currently in ground school, and we just covered VOR's. This explains it perfectly, thank you! The question I have is, when navigating to Okeechobee, why would we navigate an outbound radial from Pahokee? Wouldn't it be more intuitive to fly an inbound radial to Okeechobee instead?
