On what course should the VOR receiver (OBS) be set to navigate direct from Hampton Varnville Airport (area 1) to Savannah VORTAC (area 3)? 195°.
What is the approximate position of the aircraft if the VOR receivers indicate the 320° radial of Savannah VORTAC (area 3) and the 191° radial of Allendale VOR (area 1)? 196°.
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?
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!

VOR accuracy may be checked by means of a VOR Test Facility (VOT), ground or airborne checkpoints, or by checking dual VORs against each other. A VOT location and frequency can be found in the Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD).Nov 19, 2015
The FAA VOR test facility (VOT) transmits a test signal which provides users a convenient means to determine the operational status and accuracy of a VOR receiver while on the ground where a VOT is located.Dec 10, 2015
How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft? The other aircraft will always appear to get larger and closer at a rapid rate. There will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft. The nose of each aircraft is pointed at the same point in space.Aug 10, 2020
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.
Basic radar service is traffic advisories and limited vectoring for VFR aircraft.
When checking the course sensitivity of a VOR receiver, how many degrees should the OBS be rotated to move the CDI from the center to the last dot on either side? 10° to 12°.
The TC is measured by the numbers on the protractor portion of the plotter (semi-circle) at the meridian. Note that up to four numbers (90° apart) are provided on the plotter. You must determine which is the direction of the flight, using a common sense approximation of your direction.
Magnetic course (MC), is the True Course (TC) adjusted for magnetic variation. Magnetic course is the course that would take you directly from origin to destination if there was no wind along the route of flight.
Remember, magnetic heading would keep you on your desired course only if there is absolutely no wind. Your wind correction angle is the angle that you must "crab" into the wind in order to track along your magnetic heading.
Compass Heading (CH) is Magnetic Heading (MH), corrected for compass deviation. Deviation is the error produced on the compass simply because it is installed in an aircraft - all the metal, electric motors, and other instruments in each airplane affect the compass causing compass deviation.
