What are the altitude and range boundaries of Terminal and Low Altitude VOR’S?
Terminal - 25 nm between 1,000’ - 1,200’ AGL

You check NOTAMs at the beginning of your shift and note the VOR located on the field at the center of the Class B airspace under which generally fly to is going to be out of service for the next 5 hrs for maintenance.
