How do I fly my VOR a320?
During the approach phase of your flight, you must configure your aircraft for the ILS approach.
- Take the VOR frequency from charts : configure your radio navigation receiver NAV1 = 115.500.
- Take the VOR course and interception altitude of the localizer from charts: configure the course and.
What is VOR to VOR flight simulator?
A modified version of GPS flight plan above is the VOR to VOR option. Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) navigation uses ground-based beacons to keep you on your course. Your flight plan will automatically get filled in with the appropriate VORs along your route.
How does VOR approach work?
An aircraft’s VOR antenna, which is usually located on the tail, picks up this signal and transfers it to the receiver in the cockpit. The aircraft’s VOR receiver compares the difference between the VOR’s variable and reference phase, and determines the aircraft’s bearing from the station.
Can you fly a VOR approach with GPS?
The AIM prohibits you from using GPS (even if it’s IFR approach approved) as the sole source of navigation on a VOR approach – one that doesn’t say “or GPS” in the title. But, it does allow you to use GPS for navigation, as long as you tune and monitor your position for final course alignment using VOR indications.
When can you descend on a VOR approach?
As long as you’re within the minimum distance from the station, you can descend all the way to MDA when you’re established inbound on the final approach course when there’s no FAF published. You also might find airports with VOR approaches that are circling-only approaches.
Is DME required for VOR DME approach?
DME is required by the FARs for flight at or above FL240 if VOR navigation is used. Some instrument approach procedures require DME—these always have “DME” intheir title (e.g., VOR DME RWY 5 or LOC DME BC A). Other approaches use DME to defineoptional step-down fixes to permit lower minimums.
What is the difference between ILS and VOR?
The ILS has a glide slope providing vertical guidance. A VOR approach does not have any vertical guidance (although with a VOR/DME one can at least determine the exact point at which to start a CDFA (continuous descent final approach) and regularly crosscheck the altitude with the DME).
What is a DME approach?
In radio navigation, a VOR/DME is a radio beacon that combines a VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) with a distance-measuring equipment (DME). The VOR allows the receiver to measure its bearing to or from the beacon, while the DME provides the slant distance between the receiver and the station.
