Now do it while your flight instructor is telling you to pull out your paper map and tell him exactly where you could be in reference to where the VOR is, while he's still telling you to keep your eyes outside to fly the plane, while he's still telling you to answer the radio, while he's still telling you to verify your frequencies are set right

Go to your local flight school, almost all airports will have some kind of flight school trust me and ask for a discovery flight. More than likely it’ll be free. One of the instructors will take you up for a half hour or so and let you have the controls for a bit to let you get the feel for the aircraft and ask questions!! About the flight school and prices and timeframes and scheduling and just about flying in general, if there’s ONE thing pilots love just as much as airplanes and actually flying it’s TALKING about flying and airplanes and answering questions my man I promise you. You’d be hard pressed to find a pilot you could ever come close to annoying by asking too many questions lol. Your gunna love it!! I was doing my PPL in high school and was very close to doing my first solo flight when I had to give it up for a while bc of financing issues and will be going back soon to finish it or even restart it if I have to. Flying an airplane is a feeling that can’t be described it can only be felt, you’ll see my friend I promise you’ll understand EXACTLY what I mean when you experience so good luck and blue skies buddy!!

VORs are definitely one of those things that are easy to use, hard to explain 😂 Did my first solo XC yesterday. Between two of my landings there were absolutely NOTHING to use for navigation except VOR and EFB. As the EFB was just a "just in case" thing for me, I used the VORs only with a steam panel.

This isn’t VOR navigation parse you can call it “HSI” navigation. Most airplanes got a plan VOR and that is what cause confusion for most people. You would be flying away from a VOR thinking the course is to your right instead of left cuz it doesn’t compensate for heading changes 🤷‍♂️💀

A website called Airnav, or something similar. Google a local airport code and that airnav website should come up as one of the choices. It'll tell you most of not all of what you need to know about that and any other airport you care to name. Instrument plates, available approaches, Sids, Stars, the relative sectional map, all up to date enough for a flight simulator.
