vor

So let's say I have a WAAS certified GPS (TSO 145 or 146) and a King KX 165a Nav/Com (which includes glideslope & localizer receivers). One day, I'm out flying in IMC and decide to request an ILS approach. While a localizer uses the same frequency range as a VOR, they are very different...

OK, I have a question about the FAA and shutting down VOR stations as they lean more towards GPS navigation. I have downloaded the list from the FAA website and looked at Phase I and Phase II shutdown lists. On Phase II, I see the Glen Rose VORTAC "JEN" (115.0 / Ch 97) as being on that list...

So I was watching the Battle of Britain and got to thinking, how would navigation would have worked under IFR conditions in ww2? Of course in VFR it would just be dead reckoning and pilotage, but for IFR, we rely so heavily on electronic navigation that it’s weird to think of trying to navigate...

Howdy - where would be the best/appropriate place to ask a VOR related FAA written test question? Looking for help with VOR cone of confusion issues... Cheers! -mick

Can anyone give me some experiences with the use of VORs during Private Pilot Checkrides? I own a 1/3 share in a 150f that has an Inop VOR unit. Plenty of people at my club have weighed in on whether I will need to get it fixed or not to do my checkride, but most of them got their licenses...

I'll apologize up front. I know I've seen threads on this but can't find any. What is the authorizing document for using GPS for VOR approach to the MAP?

My buddy told me HCN is permanently out of service. However, I still see routes using it on Foreflight and it shows up in recent IFR charts. Any insights? Here is the NOTAM: HCH CSV 06/6023 NAV TACAN AZM OUT OF SERVICE 1506151901-PERM

So I just started instrument training with a new instructor (different from PPL) and we were attempting to intercept a radial for a VOR. The instructor was using some method I had never heard of before and I can't seem to remember how it worked. It went something like this--add 100 degrees...
