Q

What are the steps to use at a VOR Ground Checkpoint to verify VOR accuracy?

A
  1. Tune the proper VOR frequency.
  2. Identify the VOR frequency.
  3. Set the published radial on the course deviation indicator (CDI).
  4. Confirm that the TB is centered.
  5. Check the needle sensitivity by changing the omnibearing select (OBS) 10° each way.
  6. Set the reciprocal of the radial and check the TO FROM flag change.
  7. The maximum permissible difference between aircraft equipment and the designated radial is 4° and 0.5 NM of the posted distance.

Q

What are the steps to use a VOT to test your VOR reciever?

A
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Set the course selector to 180° and the TO-FROM
    indicator should read TO and the TB should then be
    centered.
