VOR Navigation Made Easy - Day 28

saferpilotchallenge.com VOR navigation is tough. In this video i'll break it down plain and simple for you to have a better understanding on how VOR navigation works as you prepare fro your Private Pilot Checkride or FAA Written test.

[@stupossibleify]

I'm not a pilot, but I've always had an interest in the technique and technology of VOR navigation. One of the best explanations I've seen. Thank you

[@paulmorrisette1581]

Jason, this is my ………times review of this video. My response; PRICELESS. I’m still learning.

[@djordjeandrijasevic6650]

090 bearing i think is correct, if you would intercept the radial 090 inbound to the station you would need to come from the East towards the VOR intercepting radial 090 (heading 270) inbound else you would be intercepting radial 270 inbound

[@Cessna8057F]

Hi Jason, Thank you so much for all the excellent training. This one was great for an old guy like me...I am ALWAYS learning. Cheers!

[@wilburmccullough6336]

Very Good Jason. You explain things in simple terms making it easy to understand.

[@Scott.Farkus]

To track the 090 Radial you would have to make a left turn and fly until your radio compass points towards the 090 then make a right turn and track that heading.

[@shtoormanstudio2955]

Класс! Спасибо! Все просто и понятно, даже на английском. Thanks a lot man! Really helpful video. I have used only NDB systems before (very common in Russia) and I did not understand VOR navigation at all. Therefore it was difficult for me to understand some radiotelephony related with it. But now I believe my progress is going better! Thanks!

[@markjohnson4962]

I want to buy into someone's consistent GA training on you tube. Have yet to see VOR explained simply without confusing. I'll look for more.

[@EchoChick2009]

tnx 4 sharing this easy to understand explanation. i was overthinking the process and u cleared it up :)

[@boaznood1682]

Thanks for your upload!

[@DarcyMartin]

Thanks Jason. That makes it simple.

[@M80920]

Awesome video, thank you so much Jason.

[@mikeschreifer7725]

very good instructor.

[@opetr2908]

No, he's horrible.

[@TheFiratbudak]

I really like your description, i understood everything thank you very very much 🙏

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

You're welcome 😊

[@AviationSpot]

Very good video for understanding VOR nav!

[@smwagh123]

Superb

[@QlassikTech]

It was explained so well. Thank you

[@samfisherXXI]

great explanation as always, thx jason :D

[@interactivatv]

Great Video, Thank you!!!

[@ruthdanielson919]

Learing aerospace navigation for fun, I think I'm staring to get it. :0)

[@user-vv4ng4ld8x]

Why we chose 90 to radial, but not 270 to?

[@rayperson6207]

It would help tremendously if you would call the air path by what they are,.. a bearing to the station and a radial from the station,.. at lease the pilot knows what way they are traveling

[@khaledtahraoui630]

Hi Jason thanks for the video but I think that u r wrong about the sens of radial. For example at 06:15 we r on the radial 230 inbound vir not radial 050 inbound.

[@Mikinct]

Question: Planes original heading was 070 heading. Trying to get into the 090 bearing. The VOR 1 Gauge already had 090 & displayed deflection to the left. Simply make sharp left to intercept line then turn to 090 heading & presto. I’m not understanding what the whole “intercept a 230 radial from station” was all about? Yes, a 230 radial from the station reciprocal is 050. In video it shown you typed in 230 into the VOR Gauge & chart magically shows your plane now on that 230 radial. Did I miss something? I missed the part how the plane which was on a 070 heading magically end up on a 230 radial just by turning VOR heading? That’s the part that’s confusing. Hmmmm

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

When the simulation first started up, you can see that the plane is located in the Southeast area. At that moment in time it was on the 230 Degree Radial FROM the Station. It's course was 70 Degrees TO the station. Then the simulation talked about how we can get our plane from the 230 Radial to the 270 Radial, so we could track that to the station and then fly they 090 Radial. I am attaching one of our updated VOR videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXezlYmZjKxppsk, this could clear things up.

[@Mikinct]

MzeroA Flight Training Thank you, That video Better explained it

[@wavetracker68]

that was awesome

[@ricm2703]

Great video jason. If u are asked to track a radial from the vor outbound, how would u go about such.? Thanks

[@EchoChick2009]

hmmm? did u not watch the video :)

[@medo123345]

Good video

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

Would you possibly use the radials before the heading you want to be on, Like you were doing a the DME arc, so that you know when to start turning to 45° to intercept and not overshoot your VOR radial? Of course the further you are from the station the more time you have to turn when it starts to center the needle.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Hello! There are a variety of methods to get the job done. If you have a method that your instructor shows you that works, feel free to use it. As always, if you have any questions or need anymore help, please email us at [e-mail]. Thanks for watching!

[@granunole]

090 bearing, right?

[@Mattblackaviation787]

Do you know what software this is? Would love to have this at home!!!!!!

[@maheralazzawi7814]

very good

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for watching, Maher!

[@zekejethro]

Subbed

[@Sporxyz]

Why didn’t you fly the first route you had like 070/060 you were already going to the vor why did you made that correction to the 360 after 090 I didn’t understand it

[@Mikinct]

Exactly

[@vrendus522]

Jason, with the way societies' going, I predicted that they will make a new hybrid instrument concerning VOR. This simply will be a regular VOR indicator, but with a slightly larger screen indicator next to it, which gives the graphics location of where the pilot is in relationship to the VOR. Why? Because people by and large don't want to carry the mental load of keeping this math ability up in their heads. They want an easier way out./ Question on learning styles for piloting; When I was learning to fly, my flight instructor told me not to look out of the windscreen, but to just concentrate on a few instruments. These were the coordinated ball in the slide tube. altimeter and airspeed. He said arbitrarily, I could use the course heading compass, but only to gain some sense of direction.? I know now why he did this. If I was ever at altitude and below me my landing strip was covered in clouds, then with the radio and these other instruments, I could at least be talked down to a landing. As proof of this situation, there was a pilot who wanted to land in Yakima Washington, but his airfields kept being occluded by weather. A lot of pilots start flying a plane by VFR, but do not even have a basic idea for how to fly a plane on instruments, alone. BTW this pilot ended up instead of landing in Yakima, ended up in landing over by Seattle. I'd like to see you do a video on this problem and it can become an emergency problem with VFR rated pilots.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for sharing and for the idea.

[@dpw420]

can I download this VOR simulator somewhere?

[@dpw420]

thanks!

[@kurtreber9813]

To find relative position, wouldn't it be simpler to say: identify the VOR, turn the VOR dial until you see a To indicator, then center the needle? That's your bearing "To" the VOR.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

You could do that if you wanted to fly directly to the station! Thanks for watching, Kurt!

[@backpackerthrulife8497]

To me, rotating the whole map at top makes it impossible to understand, since I'll always see it as a map of the station always oriented with north at top. Then, turning the OBS is turning a circular scale giving degrees to or from the map of the station. It is not turning the world around.

[@Mikinct]

Agreed- Something so easy made it confusing. Something wasn’t being g explained correctly in my opinion

[@ericmichau8922]

What VOR simulator software are you using?

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Hi Eric! We use X-Plane! Thanks for watching!

[@ericmichau8922]

@@MzeroAFlightTraining Thanks

[@mansurdidarali9524]

Can I have videos from day one

[@donepearce]

That looked like a wasteful piece of flying. I would have halved the difference between current heading and final heading and flown directly to the outbound radial, bypassing the VOR completely. Set 090 from on the VOR bug, and it will ease you gently into the final turn. None of these aerobatics needed.
