Com/Nav Overview Quiz

Explain how a VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) system works and describe its components. Provide a detailed example of how a pilot would use VOR to navigate from one point to another.

• A) A VOR system uses ground-based transmitters to send out signals that aircraft can use to determine their position and direction. The main components include the VOR ground station, the aircraft's VOR receiver, and the cockpit display. For example, a pilot flying from Airport A to Airport B would tune the VOR receiver to the frequency of the VOR station at Airport B, then follow the radial that leads directly to the destination.

• B) A VOR system uses satellite signals to provide global positioning information. The main components include the satellite constellation, the aircraft's GPS receiver, and the cockpit
