A very high frequency omnidirectional range station (VOR) [1] is a type of short-range VHF radio navigation system for aircraft, enabling aircraft with a VOR receiver to determine the azimuth (also …

Feb 20, 2018 · Most VORs have distance measuring equipment (DME) or tactical air navigation equipment (TACAN) installed within the VOR station. When a VOR is collocated with DME, it's …

Sep 8, 2022 · What Are VORs? VOR is a type of navigation aid (navaid) that uses very high frequency radio signals emitted by radio beacons. VOR stations broadcast three letter identifiers in Morse code.

Aug 31, 2025 · Learn how VORs (VHF Omnidirectional Range) work in aviation, including their types, uses, and limitations. Discover why VOR navigation remains a critical backup to GPS.

Click and drag on the VOR station or airplane. As they move around, you can see the instruments display the airplane's heading and radial/course information relative to the station.

Sep 6, 2025 · VOR means very high frequency (VHF) omni-directional range. VOR navigation is a type of short-range radio navigation that airplane pilots use to determine their exact position and navigate …

Aug 9, 2025 · VOR signals operate on line-of-sight principles, meaning terrain, buildings, or other structures can block or distort them. Signal strength diminishes with distance, particularly at lower …

Jul 23, 2025 · VOR operates in the 108.0 MHz–117.95 MHz band to provide aircraft avionics ability to determine the azimuth (direction/compass heading) the aircraft would have to fly to the VOR, or the …

Oct 11, 2025 · VOR, or VHF Omnidirectional Range, is a short-to-medium-range radio navigation system that enables aircraft to determine their bearing and maintain a specific course relative to a …
