V – VOR Check If you’re flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), your VOR navigation equipment must be tested every 30 days. Logging the VOR check in your maintenance records is a must for compliance. These instruments provide critical altitude data during flight. Why Is AVIATES Important?

The list of inspections gets longer if the aircraft is for compensation/for hire, or if flown under instrument flight rules (IFR). There are a few exceptions when the aircraft can be flown outside of this timeframe, such as when a special flight permit is issued. There are also required inspections for civil aircraft.

To understand why the six primary instruments look the way they do, you need to have a basic understanding of how they function. The six primary instruments (the six-pack) are the Attitude Indicator (AI), Heading Indicator (HI), Turn Coordinator, Airspeed Indicator, Altimeter, and the Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI).

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). Theyre especially useful for airports that dont have the budget or suitable terrain to install an Instrument Landing System (ILS). Cross-check your instruments.

Instrument flying is all about mentally staying ahead of the aircraft. The approach procedure is often the most complicated part of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. Set the ILS, LOC, or VOR frequency required for the approach on your navigation radio. Set your altimeter bug accordingly.

Class B airspace is also charted on VFR Sectionals and instrument flight rules (IFR) Enroute Low Altitude charts. If flying under IFR, you’ll need a VOR or TACAN receiver, or an RNAV system (GPS). You don’t want an incorrect altimeter setting to cause an airspace incursion. Equipment Requirements A two-way radio.
