VOR OPERATIONS
Aim: To learn the principles behind the operation of the VOR navigation system. Application: - orientation (where am I?) - supplementary navigation information - IFR instrument approaches Definitions: VOR - VHF Omni-directional Radio Range Radial - is a magnetic track emitted FROM a VOR station. There are 360 of them, hence omni. Principles: operates on frequencies between 112.1 and 117.9MHz (VHF radio band - line of sight transmissions) Ground Station - transmits two VHF signals: The reference phase signal, which is omni-directional (ie: same in all directions) The variable phase signal, which rotates uniformly at a rate of 1800RPM, with its phase varying at a constant rate throughout the 360 Two signals transmitted are: - in phase at magnetic North - 90 out of phase at magnetic East - 180 out of phase at South - 270 out of phase at magnetic West - 360 out of phase (back in phase) at magnetic North
