Please fly the vor's more often. I am a VOR FAA technician. I love working on the older equipment it keeps us sharp for the newer solid state equipment we are getting for us pilots. I hope all my hard work doesn't go to waste.

Another great video! I enjoy practicing VOR navigation in the sim. Navigation is a large part of the fun of flying to me. Its quite amazing to me how a relatively old technology is still widely used today.

I like to fly VORs in sim. It's much more fun than GPS. It's like riding your car with map rather than navigator. Thank you for your videos. Great explanations.

I spent all morning flying low altitude airways and rnav approaches in Cali on the sim. Now you got me wanting to go practice my VOR skills! Thanks my friend!

A remarkable video - a wonderfully clear explanation and demonstration of what is confusing subject. Thank you.

Might be “old school”, but VORs are the FAA backup plan in case of a GPS outage. So, flying VOR airways is a skill we should maintain. Great video, good review. I plan on recommending to my students

1986 Flight Simulator 2. Navigation was done with the paper map, using the VOR on board. No GPS at the time. Thank for this nice demonstration.

Super video, old school flying!! Something professional seems to be done very easy!

Love these videos. You should make one on constant speed props or complex aircraft in general

Great video. Absolute basic flying. A must for every pilot from time to time

This sort of VOR to VOR flying was my favorite part of the PPL. Can’t wait to do more of it when I start IFR training! So much more fun than just following a line on the GPS.

thanks for this video. I'm using it to tell my non flying friend about vor navigation.

Great presentation. Thanks

great video, thanks

WOW That's the only way to navigate back in my day. GPS was just coming of age when i Stopped flying as PIC in July '96. I did use LORAN back in the 80's & Early 90's. Loran was useless in weather. When I started Flying IFR there were many NON-Radar environment areas and subsequently a lot of mental gymnastics with times an mandatory reporting points & times to next Reporting point. No GPS/Ipads, Just a Enroot Chart in your lap, watch, your Flight plan on a Kneeboard, Don't for get the extra pens you were sure to drop one on the cockpit floor too. OH Only one Aircraft I ever flew had a GOOD working autopilot. Every thing back then was hand flown. Hope you know your Needle, Ball,& Airspeed Tequenick & Lost Comm Ruel's when sollid with 200 & 1/2 and you break an alternator belt.

This is how I learned to navigate IFR. It’s also why I rarely flew “hard IFR” single pilot.

If the VOR station is on the same side as CDI deflection with a FROM indication, you are not yet at the intersection. If is opposite of the station location, you have past it. If using an HSI and you set your course to the radial being flown, this case the point of the course is 130. The tail will be to the station and course deviation will indicate correctly . The to/from arrow however always point to the station. In this case the tail of the course indicator. That still tell us we are headed to the station. Slightly confusing so just place the course arrow on 310 and use it like the old OBS.

How long is the timing on the outbound leg of the vor approach before turning onto hdg 216?

hi, may I know which model of this aircraft adopted in this video ?

which tool are you using to record the time in the navlog?

I tried doing an IFR flight via victor airways, and I filed as such. But ATC saw my /G and in flight gave me an amended route direct to a GPS fix completely bypassing the victor airway. Is there a way to communicate to ATC that I actually want to fly the victor airway? When I'm filing can I remove the /G in my airplane configuration?

Thanks for the video 👍. Which app did you use for time table?

What software are you using for the sim? Would love to get it and get some practice at home

One thing you forgot was to LOG the VOR test in the Airplanes log book if not done in the Previous 10 hours. I think that's still in the FAR's That was one of the first things Art Zander my FAA Designated Examiner expected me to CHK/LOG. So happens the MWC VOR 108.6 was on the field so I checked no.1 VOR against No.2 VOR for less than 4 degrees difference. Funny thing every thing worked fine until I radioed the tower for a take off clearance and Nothing. Flashed the landing light at the tower and they gave us light signals back to parking. Turns out there was a BAD MASTER Radio switch. So took my Check ride in a 172 with single navcom and ADF Dis have a marker beacons And GS/

Dear Sir, very nice channel. I want to ask you wich kind of Simulator you use it?

Please make a video on how to divert, I’m a student pilot and this would help a ton.

Is this MSFS 2020?

X-Plane or MSFS?

VOR/VOR is not the greatest idea but yeah can lead to some very interesting circumstances.

hey may i ask if you can share that navlog ? :) thank you

Turn Time Twist Throttle Talk Track

GPS, what's that. I used to use highways, railroads and water towers.

Thats msfs or x-plane ? Addon flown ?

what app do you use to set ur path?

Hold on...do we really want to abandon vor’s...even ndb’s? What happens WHAT happens when stars in the sky come tumbling down... PEOPLE... don’t get lazy

😎👍🛩🌈

You turn knobs, you don’t twist them.

Simulators replicate GPS flying reasonably well as there's very little real world inaccuracies and winds are automatically compensated. VOR flying in real world vs a simulator is going to be considerably different. Although within the tolerances of the equipment involved, accuracy varies considerably from one VOR to the next and varying winds will make your timing exercise much less exact.

This is just the way I prefer to navigate anyway. Using the GPS in flight sim just feels like cheating, once you've planned your route, there's little challenge.

Very good instruction but....for noobs it needs to be a little slower and repeated before moving on. Same with what freq is going to what com and why. I lost ya lol

Your methods of teaching are very difficult to learn.

Tring to hard to sound like aviation101

Great video. Absolute basic flying. A must for every pilot from time to time

You ask why one would do this? For me, it's because the plane I fly doesn't have a GPS. Secondarily, it's good to be proficient in case the GPS system goes down either on your plane or with the satellites.
