Approaches: VOR

Question 1

What is important to remember when calculating a VDP on a VOR approach where the VOR is not located on the airport?

Answer 1

The VDP distance will need to be subtracted from the RWY distance
(the VOR RWY 19 IAP at GEZ is an example of this)

Question 2

When are you required to use Green needles (VOR) vs Purple needles (GPS on a VOR approach?

Answer 2

You may use the GPS (purple needles) only up to the FAF, and only after the MAP.

It is required to track the Green needles starting at the FAF, all the way to the MAP.

Question 3

Whats important to note about CDI sensitivity when performing a VOR approach where the VOR is located on the airport?

Answer 3

The CDI sensitivity will increase as you get closer to the VOR/RWY.
