[@FU2Max]

wow. i was sceptical of the title of this video. You will REALY understand VOR's after watching this. Thank you!!!

[@FreePilotTraining]

I appreciate that! I don’t believe VORs are explained correctly and this video was my attempt to change that!

[@milesbrown8016]

Thank you so much for simplifying this topic…

[@babyboomer9560]

VOR saved my bacon on my private cross country in 1975. I was not listening or it just didn’t sink in when the flight weather station briefer told me my destination airport was two miles visibility with fog. That was the second leg on the trip. I blissfully took off and when I got near my destination I couldn’t find the airport cause of the fog. I took radials off of two VORs and when they crossed figured out where I was and where the airport was. Finally found it.

[@FreePilotTraining]

Great story. Thanks for sharing

[@jelveyvisch]

This has helped so much, thank you! Finally someone who doesn't lie about the title

[@FreePilotTraining]

Awesome! You’re welcome!

[@schen3822]

Thank you! My instructor told me it was his first time seeing a student learning VOR that fast! The best VOR video!!!

[@FreePilotTraining]

That’s super cool! Thanks for the comment!

[@brianlongman9559]

This was a fantastic lesson. I really liked how you put the audience “in the cockpit .” I never really understood VORs that well until now.

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks Brian! I really appreciate the feedback. I’m so glad it helped you

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

@@FreePilotTraining i don't need VOR, I'm not a pilot but I'm interested in this and I've played right SIM some years ago. I never understood those maps but now I do! This video is great. The kindly thing I wasn't 100% clear on was if I was left or right of the angle line for to make a correction. So if I was flying To/through and the line was left of center, the aircraft is the center, so do I get to get on the line by turning towards the line, or do I turn the aircraft to make the line come to me which would be a right turn? I'm guessing I'd turn left to move the aircraft over the line that's off to the left to bring it back to the center? Great video. Well done. I'm sure these videos will bring you lots of students.

[@FreePilotTraining]

@@Google_Does_Evil_Now thanks! Yes, as long as your heading is close to the bearing you have selected, you would turn towards the line

[@n6vcw]

During my flight training days, my instructor had me verify that I tuned to the proper VOR by listening to the audio Morse Code identifier and then matching the sound to the printed Morse Code elements on the chart. I told her that I confirmed it by ear already. She didn't believe me. I then informed her that I held an Amateur Extra Class Ham Radio license from the 80s, whereby I was required to demonstrate my ability to receive Morse Code at 20 WPM by ear and that I had my Ham license in my pocket if she needed proof. She just said "Oh...ok, then." Hehehe.

[@FreePilotTraining]

😂 that’s pretty funny

[@Pork-Chopper]

Dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot dash dash dash....

[@aviatortrucker6198]

Samuel Morse created his code really fast. Let’s just say he did so in a dash.

[@endokrin7897]

Great story!

[@goneflying140]

Awesome!!! I love it.

[@tburda823]

Wow, I feel much more educated about VOR's now. I really struggled to understand them completely in one of the online schools, this is done VERY well! Thank you!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thank you! I’m so glad this video helped you!

[@oliviah.7574]

Thank you for dragging me out of the depths of Kings school and making this understandable

[@FreePilotTraining]

Lol. King schools is good, but I think they leave out a lot of important information

[@fast_richard]

Getting back to flying after about 25 years. Most of my ground school was 50 years ago. These videos are a nice little refresher.

[@FreePilotTraining]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@boijone8440]

Not much changed, same planes from the 70's. American purchasing power nosedived since then.

[@sethchappell499]

There should be WAY more stuff like this where you actually show the instrument working in real time, rather than someone just drawing what the instrument looks like at certain static points. Way way way more helpful.

[@FreePilotTraining]

Looking at those drawings never made sense to me. That’s why I wanted to make this video

[@DanneJensen]

Man this teaching works really good for me! Im really new to aviation, ty so much and keep em coming! // swedish aviation noob 😂🙌

[@FreePilotTraining]

I love hearing that 🙌🏻 you’re welcome!

[@guido.demedici]

Best vor video on KZbin

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks!

[@jacquesparadis6756]

Great lesson! Well articulated, illustrated and demonstrated. An other good trick is: FROM top TO bottom. To find out on what radial you are on, rotate the OBS and when the needle centres if you have a FROM indication, you read your radial position on top of the indicator. Conversely, if you get a TO flag, you read your radial position from the bottom of the I indicator. Thanks for the video, well done!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks! That’s a great tip! I haven’t heard that one before! I appreciate the input

[@Sofo41]

That’s how I think of it too !
