Question 1

VOR check: what to record?

Answer 1

Date, place, bearing error, signature

Question 2

VOR Test Allowable Error

Answer 2

+/- 4 degrees for dual VOR comparison, designated ground check point, or VOT
+/- 6 degrees for airborne checkpoints

Question 3

Range and service voulme for the 3 classes of VOR/VORTAC facilities

Answer 3

T: Terminal

• 25nm
• 1000-12000ft

L: Low altitude

• 40nm
• 1000-18000ft

H: High Altitude

• 40nm from 1000-14500
• 100nm from 14500-18000
• 130nm from 18000-45000
• 100nm from 45000-60000

Question 4

Slant range error negligible beyond

Answer 4

1 mile per 1000 feet above facility elevation

Question 5

DME Arc Bearing Corrections

Answer 5

10-20 degrees for each 1/2 mile of deviation

Question 6

VOR Deflection scale

Answer 6

2 degrees per dot (full scale = 10+ degrees)

Question 7

VOR radial divergence rate

Answer 7

100ft per nm per degree

Question 8

Steps to orient where the aircraft is in relation to the VOR using an HSI

Answer 8

1. Identify radial selected (arrowhead)
2. Determine hemisphere (TO/FROM)
3. Determine quadrant and distance from course (needle direction and deviation amount)
4. Determine heading within quadrant

*Be sure to account for reverse sensing if flying a localizer back course (you’ll know because the HSI is tuned to the reciprocal of the inbound course)
