Using a VOR in an Airplane (navigation skills)

[@juansebastianaraque3646]

Amazing video. VOR navigation is one of those topics that seem so overwhelming at first, and one day to another, it just clicks.

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Definitely agree with that one. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@BK-uy9nj]

Lmao this video made it click for me. Fuck some people are so bad at explaining and i got a good grasp just from this dude

[@deeeeeds]

I love this new intro. After many long nights of grinding away on the ground school, that old one (that was always just a bit too loud) really triggers some sort of PTSD in me.

[@phgodfrey1]

Finally an actually very helpful practical use video on VOR navigation. Thank you!!!

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Glad it helped ya!

[@MrSam-db1vw]

You are excellent as usual but because I love what you do I advise you to be slower add zoom in with more time on the steps for beginners like us so we can follow and make sure that we do it right thanks a lot

[@Jeffrey-Flys]

The best part of this video is that you were enroute towards our house!!!! And now I am a graduate of premium ground school and boot camp and passed my written exam!!!! And I understand how to use VORs just in time for them to disappear 🙌🏼

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Hahaha! Yup! We were flying to Nebraska that day. Hopefully you get to use them for a few years before they're all gone!

[@shep427]

I had a few people try to explain VORs to me, but it didn’t really click till I watched your videos! Thank you!

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Glad it worked out for you!

[@u.s.patriot3415]

Great refresher! Thanks for posting this lesson! Happy/Safe Flying!

[@chrislewis5150]

I would like to see a quick panel tour sometime explaining all the goodies👍🏽

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

It may come along in the near future!

[@kentvandevender9731]

When I was training VOR was the main navigation aid, I have use some GPS, even used some ADF. Funny how things change. I knew a couple guys with LORAN C

[@Jeffrey-Flys]

And now flying a G5 /430 equipped 172… a good review

[@ronaldofernandes2080]

CFI ground school? Oh man, I can't wait for that.

[@Some_randomcreature]

What an epic intro:0

[@erikfrandsen8249]

Thank you for making this video! Was looking for how to use a G5 and the to/from on a VOR with it. This helped me understand what the arrows meant. Thanks!

[@maperna99]

Same here. That helped immensely! The manual is sorely lacking in explaining any of this.

[@everythingyoudwanttoknow]

Awesome channel. I used to fly 6 years in Sierra. Minden NV. What an awesome place.

[@pslny]

Next video needs to be intercepting a course, first with the old school Nav 2 vor then with that fancy HSI. Nice video.

[@pbr2805]

I am a pilot and you did a great job but the video was to show how you fly with a VOR. This was suppose to be for a novice and you explained it way too fast for those who wish to know the working of a VOR. The video was really about making sure your VOR is working properly. But a great video for an experienced pilot.

[@smoispwns]

Thank you! I've never used the G5 before and this is really helpful

[@jaretkage8403]

another great video. thanks man

[@timwaygar7163]

That's how I 'cheated' on my 3 leg cross country solo flight prior to getting my SEL private pilot's license I plotted VR routes to point B, point C, and back to point A on my sectionals, noting landmarks along the routes for corroboration of 'dead reckoning.'

[@MarinePilot]

You are legal to fly IFR because the Garmin 430 is WAAS certified, correct?

[@Antonio-bc2ue]

Thank you very much man!❤

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

You're welcome!

[@13shandingo]

💡 Man U jus simplified it all for me jus now. Thanks!!!

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

You bet!

[@Wild_Bill57]

Thanks for a very informative video.

[@ersankisin6549]

you are the best!

[@mothanna2320]

Hi thank you for this video. I have question why did you put the radial on top ,and you flying to the VOR why you did not put it done or only with interception we need to do that please correct me and explain.

[@WendelltheSongwriter]

Another super lesson, Jon. Hope you two are having fun!

[@vinsonsmith4345]

Great video

[@saib717]

great video thanks for sharing

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Thanks for checking us out!

[@fwdslip5964]

Another great video, thanks :)

[@Islandsoundzz]

Can you do a video with some tips for private pilots who haven't flown in 5+ years and are interested in getting back in the air?

[@gmcjetpilot]

When the GPS down in IMC or dark night, you will be glad to have a VOR...

[@bcherbs]

@ 3:52 Why did your GPS map have a yellow $4.95 lit up over what looks like Kirksville ?

[@williammayne2581]

bcherbs Fuel prices at the FBO

[@thiscorrosion900]

My question is, will the AP then fly you direct TO the VOR once Id'd and tuned in for Nav 1 or Nav 2 (VOR), if you select those sources on the AP and make sure your CDI is set to the proper Nav source?

[@divyanshumehta9229]

Man Ur just awesome 👌🤘

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

I appreciate that!

[@u.s.patriot3415]

John, which "affordable" ADS-B do you recommend and why? I understand that Stratus 3 allows one to use their cellular wi-fi, which is a great feature. Also, its best to have ADS-B IN and OUT? If you have already made a video covering this, please share link. Look forward to your reply. Happy/Safe Flying!

[@YuraKostiukevych]

Why does VOR 2 show “to” on 082 radial? You’re flying 262 course, so I’d expect vor 2 indicate “from” for 082.

[@kombolasha]

Flying away FROM the station on the 262 radial, because all the radials emanate FROM the hub (the VOR). Flying TO the station, is the same as flying from the station on the reciprocal radial.

[@nabildhifallah6964]

more easy to catch

[@ianjeisenberx]

What if you’re not flying to a station though? How do you use vor to fly cross country?

[@kombolasha]

You have to either hop from one VOR to the next; or use 2 VORs, see which radial makes each one center up, and determine your location that way.

[@pierredoyon9283]

Thanks for the video. Can anyone tell me why G5s don't show DME in the VOR/LOC mode but do when in GPS mode?

[@kombolasha]

Because it’s not a dedicated DME receiver, meaning it’s not receiving a UHF frequency; it can only determine distance based on triangulating GPS signals, so it only works in that mode.

[@zacharysinger5370]

I believe you have 6 degrees of swing in the air for a VOR airborne...

[@BladePressure]

What year is this?

[@kenwarren1720]

What did I miss? If the airborne check is +/- 6 degrees why wouldn't the 4.5 degree difference pass?

[@williammayne2581]

Explained quickly at the end of the video. Key word is “dual”, 4 degrees between each CDI regardless of whether you’re on the ground or airborne when comparing 2 CDIs.

[@flywithwilliam2113]

Dual VOR check between two different VORs receivers should be within 4 degrees. This is regardless of airborne or on the ground, as you're trying to match the CDI between the two VORs in the plane. The +/- 6 degree tolerance for an airborne check only applies for an airborne checkpoint. In this case, you can test each VOR separately, and each VOR has to be within +/- 6 degrees. The difference is you're not checking the VORs against each other in this case.

[@GreenGuyDIY]

FAR Sec. 91.171 4(c) does not indicate while on the ground or airborn. It simply states, " If dual system VOR (units independent of each other except for the antenna) is installed in the aircraft, the person checking the equipment may check one system against the other in place of the check procedures specified in paragraph (b) of this section. Both systems shall be tuned to the same VOR ground facility and note the indicated bearings to that station. The maximum permissible variation between the two indicated bearings is 4 degrees."

[@JohnRobertson22]

You still in Missouri?

[@u.s.patriot3415]

John, have you heard about Foreflight moving to Android as main platform, no longer Apple/IOS? Thanks.

[@andyirving7186]

John. Please help your career..stop saying "go ahead and" you say it almost continuously. Not professional, irritating
