The VOR is tuned to the VOR-DME at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. The omnibearing selector (OBS) is set on 253°, with a TO indication, and a right course deviation indicator (CDI) deflection.
What is the approximate position of the aircraft if the VOR receivers indicate the 320° radial of Savannah VORTAC (area 3) and the 184° radial of Allendale VOR (area 1)? Southeast of Guyton. You just studied 16 terms!
The accuracy of the VOR should be ±4° for ground checks or ±6° for airborne checks.
What is a consideration when using a hand-held GPS for VFR navigation? Position accuracy may degrade without notification. What procedure could a pilot use to navigate under VFR from one point to another when ground references are not visible?
5. What procedure is recommended when climbing or descending VFR on an airway? Execute gentle banks, left and right for continuous visual scanning of the airspace.Aug 10, 2020
Pressure Altitude is the indicated altitude when an altimeter is set to 29.92 in Hg (1013 hPa in other parts of the world). It is primarily used in aircraft performance calculations and in high-altitude flight. Density Altitude is formally defined as “pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature variations.”
VOR Checkpoint: Many airports have VOR checkpoint signs that are located near a taxiway, ramp or runup area. These signs indicate the exact point on the airport where there is sufficient signal strength from a VOR to check the aircraft's VOR receiver against the radial designated on the sign.Sep 16, 2021
Where can locations for VOR test facilities be found? Airport/Facilities Directory.
Which situation would result in reverse sensing of a VOR receiver? Flying a heading that is reciprocal to the bearing selected on the OBS.
When making an airborne VOR check, what is the maximum allowable tolerance between the two indicators of a dual VOR system (units independent of each other except the antenna)? Which indications are acceptable tolerances when checking both VOR receivers by use of the VOT? 176° TO and 003° FROM, respectively.
To provide backups should GPS signals fail or be disrupted, the FAA will retain a minimum operational network (MON) of VORs and MON airports that have ILS and/or VOR approaches.Mar 10, 2015
When filing VFR flight plans, pilots may use the five letter identifier as a waypoint in the route of flight section if there is an intended course change at that point or if used to describe the planned route of flight. This VFR filing would be similar to how a VOR would be used in a route of flight.
