Are you curious about flying a VOR approach? If you’re aiming to master instrument-rated flying, it’d be valuable to learn about VOR approaches. We’ll cover what a VOR approach is, how to fly it step-by-step, and even whether GPS can replace it in today’s navigation. Ready to make VOR approaches easy?

Non-Precision Approaches Non-Precision Approaches: Only provide lateral guidance, requiring pilots to level off at a Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) until the runway is visible. ILS): Include vertical guidance, allowing a continuous descent to a Decision Height (DH) where the pilot decides to land or go missed. for the localizer and 0.7

Here are the five most often missed questions from November 2024 on the simulated Instrument Rating Airplane Knowledge Test. At which altitude and location on V573 would you expect the navigational signal of the HOT VOR/DME to be unreliable? Let’s get to the quiz! Refer to figure 34.) 6,000 feet at ELMMO intersection.

It can also be dangerous when the learner drops the airplane to fly the checklist or radio, so practice in the ATD is often a good way to learn procedures, as the ATD is a CFI-controlled environment. To get the most out of the scenario, the learner should use the same procedures in the airplane. It’s an ATD.

After flying “several miles” toward the assigned VOR, the Bonanza began a tight right turn to 213 degrees and its rate of descent began to increase, ultimately reaching as high as 15,000 feet per minute.

Before RNAV, pilots had to rely on radios (NAVAIDs) and antennas on the ground such as VORs (Very High-Frequency Omnidirectional Range) and NDBs (Non-Directional Beacons). These would guide them when they couldn’t see anything outside their airplane. The satellites then send the corrected signals back to your airplane.
