Working on my instrument rating and I have struggled with "paper VOR" skills since my PPL. This is the first explanation to REALLY make sense in a way that will stick to me. Thank you so much!

I fly jets, everything is instrument up there, but still, i love brushing up on the basics every once in a while... and let me tell ya'll, this is by far one of the best, easiest, clearest VOR videos on youtube. cheers brother, great job.

I watched over 20 explanatory videos, in multiple languages, totaling hours of videos and you managed to sum it all up in less than 10 minutes and I finally got it. Thank you very much! You could make more videos like that, they're perfect!

Very helpful to me as I'm trying to improve my knowledge of the VOR.

I struggle the most with VORs but this video just helped me visualize them! Thank you so much!

that music is a real pain

Such a helpful reminder as I prep IFR written. Thank you!

I got more confused by this than before, I dont know why. Just felt very messy?

Nicely done. As a telecommunications instructor, I know a lot work went into that video. Look forward to your next one!

Studying for the written and this really helped. Thank you for making this

Best explanation of how to solve the FAA problems I've seen....and....I've looked for a long time!

needed to brush up. thanks for the quick reminder

Wow, I'm annoyed I didn't find this day one of understanding VOR based position. Thank you so much. Just starting my instrument instruction and this was BY FAR the clearest instruction of this concept. This is how this should be taught.

Well done, nice teaching method. Thanks so much.

Thanks it's been a while since in the books thanks for the refresher

Very nicely explained, by far the simplest VOR video I ever watched. Thank you!

thanks so much man being struggling since ppl... and now just started my instrument and i got this ur explanation thanks man am so happy

I was trying to understand it for so long. Thank you so much! I finally know how this works.

instrument student here just wanna say this is amazing! I went from not understanding why i was getting the wrong answer, to drawing it out and getting every question correct.

4 years after this was posted and here I am. This right here explained the CDI perfectly for me. I struggled with the whole concept and could never envision it. But you my good sir, you just made it all make sense. Thank you.

I have to admit that this is the most accurate explanation to really understand VORs , THANK YOU THANK YOU

Thank you for this awesome video. Also, you are really good at drawing things!

finally after watching so many vor videos this one nails it. so simple to visualise now.... thanks

massive help! thanks mate

Thanks for the video! I have STRUGGLED with this concept. Thank you for talking through each step.

Great explanation: thank you!👍🏽👍🏽

Got it.... i effing got it.... i musta watched 50-11 vor videos prior to this one. And i got on the 1st try. Thank you, Loves2fly

Awesome video! working towards ppl Thanks!

If I understand correctly, based on the example of 210, if you see the To is in the upper quadrant and the needle is to right, then the upper right quadrant shows the range of headings that you would fly to get to the station to intercept the 210 radial. If the range of headings to get to the station is in the upper right quadrant, then the opposite of that is the lower left which places you north-east of the VOR and south of the 030 (tail of the 210) radial. To intercept the 210 you could fly either direct to the 030 radial (90 degrees) intercept of 300 or a 45 degree intercept which would be 255.

Great job very helpful

I really like King School videos, but THIS really clicked for me. Thank you so much!

good video! appreciated

confusing as hell

Thank you! So easy now!

I’m returning to flying after 25 years (!) and making myself start from the beginning. I agree, this is an outstanding explanation and the way you broke it down into halves and then quadrants was simply outstanding. As I hope a constructive comment, I found the skeuomorphic writing/erasing distracting though it kept the pace slow enough to absorb the info as you presented it. Still, overall I highly appreciate and recommend this video for someone trying to build a good mental model of how VORs worth with CDIs.

This helps a lot

I sure appreciate it, Sir!

Nicely and well explained!!

Working on PPL this has been a great help. Thank you sir!

Really helpful! Thank you

I’m sitting my RNav ATPL exam soon and this is the best explanation out of all the other videos on yt, thanks a lot 🙏

Oww, cool explanation! Thanks

amazing!!! thank you sir :)

You are the best Plz continue

So grateful for this because now it all makes sense

it really helps to think of too as to the radial instead of to the station. Thanks

Thanks!

Best video I've seen in the subject. Thank you!

This video helped a lot, thanks!

Excellent video.

Very nice explanation,

Me too!! Thank Youi Loves2Fly!! Outstanding demonstrations!!

Really appreciate your video

Oh my goodness, why didn't I see this video when I was working on my instrument rating?!? Super easy and super helpful to understand!

I'm here for my NCATT AET DNS endorsement because I heard there a lot of this on there.

Love it. Thank you.

This is the only explanation of this I've found that doesn't work its way into a tangled mess off confusion and repetition

I had to watch the video several times before it sunk in, but finally!!

Awesome explanation. So simple

Very helpful!

awesome instruction! Do you have one for hold pattern entry?

Thank you so much for the video. Really helped me visualize how the VOR works. Basically whatever you have the course set to, it seems the aircraft is opposite of what the instrument indicates

Best vid I've seen on VOR

Pretty helpful. Taking my written next week.

THANK YOU!!!

wow! simply awesome

Very useful method and strongly advised! TBH I've developed a bit different logic for myself but it was a struggle for a some time before I was able to do that. Knowing this method earlier would have saved a lots of time and some grey hair for me - and I may also switch to this one. :D

Very good!

The key is the TO/FROM flag. Think "FROM The Same Side" OR think "TO The Other Side" ... all in relation to what radial was dialed in with the OBS selector. 360 radial dialed in with a centered needle and a TO flag? "TO the other side" ... you are on the other side of the VOR (or on the 180 radial.) FROM flag? "FROM the same side" ... you are on the same side of the VOR (or on the 360 radial).

Easy . Please do one on the HSI

thank you

Best ever video

Finally got it 20 year retread trying to speak for rmi and his again!!!

helpful

Vell done !! 👍

Excellent video BUT still confusing on two key points - 1. clarity needed on impact of having a TO or FROM FLAG 2. WHEN IS PLANE ABOVE HORIZONTAL AND WHEN BELOW?

Thanks

clear where can i practice?

I'm a 500 hour Private Pilot working on my instrument rating and I just can't understand how to determine my position relative to the VOR using a CDI. I understand VOR navigation (even though I did very little in my PPL training and didn't touch a VOR knob since. I am using the King School course and I watched John King explain it 4-5 times and then missed every practice question. I'm about to watch your video. I hope it helps. I just can't visualize how the CDI works. (Edit--so you didn't cover the HSI. That broken needle all crooked is throwing me. Like I said, I understand VORs)

I need to watch this daily.

Excellent video, but when perpendicular to the station, in cone of confusion, is the CDI needle direction valid?

Hi, early on you say you will provide a link to the downloadable sample test from FAA but I don’t see it?

The music is a bit distracting but thank you for the knowledge

Thanks man, is it possible to do all nine?

The software you're using to create these illustrations is fascinating and I really appreciate it. Personally, I didn't notice there was music - I was focused on the content and that's the idea isn't it? This topic is kicking my butt on the online practice tests I'm taking, I'm going to try some more applying your instruction and will edit my comment with the results. [Edit] In Gleim's Study Unit 10: Navigation Systems - I got an 81% - which still sucks. I'm only partially interested in passing... I want to know. I'll review (literally re-view) this video as much as needed.

link ? to website so I can get the booklet ? TY

Could you please do the same explanation for HSI?

So at the 5 minute mark, you put the 210 degree radial up top. Right after that you did the same thing but put the radial at the bottom where 210 would normally be. Why the difference?

Great refresher for me. I thought the presentation and graphics were excellent. Naysayers would be well advised to seek one-on-one help from an instructor.

but this doesn't help when asked for the cardinal direction from the VOR.

Looks like CDI needle and to/from arrow shows us where we are NOT located.

at first I was confused by the channel name, sailing salt... then I remembered, "nothing sails across the ocean better than a 747!"

I think it would be easier if the radial didnt go above the vor and just was below since the radial from the VOR, right? lol

I love you❤

Great instruction. Distracting graphics however

i didnt get example 3?

Where’s the link

Thanks for the video but couldn't hear much with the background music unless I crank up the volume.

Very well explained. Only wish you hadn’t put an arrow head on the pivot point of your CDI illustrations. For some reason, it kept throwing me at first.

You’re just making it harder
