As of today, my first official avionics tutorial is live! The site’s page on the VOR system is complete and posted. I hope its the first of many and provides readers with some new insight into how VOR radio navigation really works. (Click here to learn how a VOR works) I had fun putting it together and actually learned a few things myself. That’s the beauty of this process. When trying to explain a subject to others it will often highlight an area where the “instructor” could benefit as well . We never stop learning.
I plan to tackle the ILS system next. It seemed only natural since it shares so many components on the aircraft with the VOR system. Stay tuned for the next update and please let me know if you have any feedback on the VOR page.
