Dear friends and followers welcome back to my channel and to the second part of the VOR explanation videos!
Wiki: Very High Frequency (VHF) Omni-Directional Range (VOR) is a type of short-range radio navigation system for aircraft, enabling aircraft with a receiving unit to determine its position and stay on course by receiving radio signals transmitted by a network of fixed ground radio beacons. It uses frequencies in the very high frequency (VHF) band from 108.00 to 117.95 MHz. Developed in the United States beginning in 1937 and deployed by 1946, VOR is the standard air navigational system in the world, used by both commercial and general aviation. In the year 2000 there were about 3,000 VOR stations operating around the world including 1,033 in the US, reduced to 967 by 2013 (stations are being decommissioned with widespread adoption of GPS).
A VOR ground station sends out an omnidirectional master signal, and a highly directional second signal is propagated by a phased antenna array and rotates clockwise in space 30 times a second. This signal is timed so that its phase (compared to the master) varies as the secondary signal rotates, and this phase difference is the same as the angular direction of the 'spinning' signal (so that when the signal is being sent 90 degrees clockwise from north, the signal is 90 degrees out of phase with the master). By comparing the phase of the secondary signal with the master, the angle (bearing) to the aircraft from the station can be determined. This line of position is called the "radial" from the VOR. The intersection of radials from two different VOR stations can be used to fix the position of the aircraft, as in earlier radio direction finding (RDF) systems.
VOR stations are fairly short range: the signals are line of sight between transmitter and receiver and are useful for up to 200 miles. Each station broadcasts a VHF radio composite signal including the navigation signal, station's identifier and voice, if so equipped. The navigation signal allows the airborne receiving equipment to determine a bearing from the station to the aircraft (direction from the VOR station in relation to Magnetic North). The station's identifier is typically a three-letter string in Morse code. The voice signal, if used, is usually the station name, in-flight recorded advisories, or live flight service broadcasts. At some locations, this voice signal is a continuous recorded broadcast of Hazardous Inflight Weather Advisory Service or HIWAS.
More about the navigation part in the video.
Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this video!
Wishing you all the best!
Your "Captain" Joe

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.

Funny:)

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@markcomia9206]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@erikbregnsbo9962]

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

[@bobliptak6309]

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

[@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

[@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?

[@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.

[@muermel01]

Good video Joe. I remember my time fondly, flying around Lake Okechobee, refuelling in Pahokee, night flying to Sebring. All in the little R22 to build time. Florida is great for flying :-)

[@j-marie4006]

I think I'm going to have to watch this more than once...lol

[@moeenuddinsaiyed1586]

Even me I have to watch it more than two times to get it fully in my head 😂😂✈✈

[@NPCLIVESMATTER723]

Damn I have to pause and rewind it multiple times to process the info and avoid watching it more than once 😅

[@rodmorgan7041]

Totally agree :)

[@tiputiger475]

Yeah looks easy but very confusing

[@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.

[@rekhachoudhury2723]

You make complex topics simple and together with the humor you put in your videos make them so interesting to watch. Thank you Captain. Learning a lot from your videos.

[@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!

[@edb7742]

One of the best videos that I've seen on VOR navigation. Thank you.

[@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.)

[@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!

[@penguinsinarizona4294]

This is a fantastic walk-through of VOR navigation! Thank you so much!

[@mohammednaaman6698]

Old school flying is still my best part about flying,I loved the explanation you're good at it.Keep doing more.

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.

Thank you for the great explanation. It is super clear!

[@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...!

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 :)
