FAA Instrument Procedures and Symbols Flashcards
What are the steps to use at a VOR Ground Checkpoint to verify VOR accuracy?
- Tune the proper VOR frequency.
- Identify the VOR frequency.
- Set the published radial on the course deviation indicator (CDI).
- Confirm that the TB is centered.
- Check the needle sensitivity by changing the omnibearing select (OBS) 10° each way.
- Set the reciprocal of the radial and check the TO FROM flag change.
- The maximum permissible difference between aircraft equipment and the designated radial is 4° and 0.5 NM of the posted distance.
What are the steps to use a VOT to test your VOR reciever?
- Tune the VOR receiver to the VOT frequency. VOT
frequencies can be found in the CS. [Figure 2-50]
These frequencies are coded with a series of Morse
code dots or a continuous 1020-cycle tone. - On the VOR, set the course selector to 0° and the
track bar (TB) indicator should read center. The TO
FROM indicator should read FROM. - Set the course selector to 180° and the TO-FROM
indicator should read TO and the TB should then be
centered.
What is the tolerance for a VOR checkpoint or VOT station when testing your VOR reciever?
+/- 4 Degrees
What is the tolerance for an Airborne VOR Check?
+/- 6 Degrees
