Wow… I’m so surprised to hear you say that because I thought this video might get a lot of criticisms for making it more confusing! So thank!!! I’m glad it helped!!!
Seriously, I’ve been struggling with it for my CPL IREX. There’s only about 2 here on the south east coast of Australia so I’ve had no exposure in real time with it. Hope your flying is going well 🤙
VORs are ridiculously simple and easy to use. I do miss them to be quite honest. I haven’t even been alive for as long as they were popular but it’s so straight forward.
@@EvanLuft bro, please make another video with a simple explanation like this. u just made all flying instructors look dumb (and that's what we want) we new cadets need simple explaination like this
Some old planes don’t have the big old touch glass display panel. They have little white numbers that rotate to select frequency and big push buttons to select mode.
Now do it while your flight instructor is telling you to pull out your paper map and tell him exactly where you could be in reference to where the VOR is, while he's still telling you to keep your eyes outside to fly the plane, while he's still telling you to answer the radio, while he's still telling you to verify your frequencies are set right
Learning about VOR’s in ground school was so painful and confusing. I spent 10 minutes fiddling with one during flight training and they clicked instantly
Thanks for your video! I tried countless other videos but this was the video that just "locked it in" for me... I guess i learn better with demonstrations :)
Once you get used to HSI, anything else is irrelevant, and obsolete, like old stile VOR gauges . Did my commercial on a Cutlass with a nice HSI. Got hooked by it from the start . Great video 👍🍺😁 Ha! Didn’t realize i made a comment 10 months ago… 🤣
It is the most satisfying feeling ever when you get so proficient with your plane can read and interpret your panel without even thinking about it anymore.
VORs are definitely one of those things that are easy to use, hard to explain 😂 Did my first solo XC yesterday. Between two of my landings there were absolutely NOTHING to use for navigation except VOR and EFB. As the EFB was just a "just in case" thing for me, I used the VORs only with a steam panel.
When I first began flying, that is all we had besides ADF, which hardly anyone has anymore. I used it to listen to AM music and to track rock stations along my route, as all large cities had a radio station.
@@EvanLuft Would you believe that Dutch Harbor still has an NDB approach? In the atrocious winter weather there, one would think they would get an ILS! Amazing that there are so few accidents there, though I have been stuck in Anchorage for days at a time, waiting for weather!
Go to your local flight school, almost all airports will have some kind of flight school trust me and ask for a discovery flight. More than likely it’ll be free. One of the instructors will take you up for a half hour or so and let you have the controls for a bit to let you get the feel for the aircraft and ask questions!! About the flight school and prices and timeframes and scheduling and just about flying in general, if there’s ONE thing pilots love just as much as airplanes and actually flying it’s TALKING about flying and airplanes and answering questions my man I promise you. You’d be hard pressed to find a pilot you could ever come close to annoying by asking too many questions lol. Your gunna love it!! I was doing my PPL in high school and was very close to doing my first solo flight when I had to give it up for a while bc of financing issues and will be going back soon to finish it or even restart it if I have to. Flying an airplane is a feeling that can’t be described it can only be felt, you’ll see my friend I promise you’ll understand EXACTLY what I mean when you experience so good luck and blue skies buddy!!
Oh my I’m so old yet not lol. Then what you do with that information is draw a straight line off VOR using the compass rose on the chart and where the two lines intersect is where you are. Yes we used to drawl on the paper charts if anyone remembers what that is.
easy but maybe too fast since it s a short of course... anways u gotta know what cdi is and what arrows points where and what... it s easy but i d like more detailed info to make it less confusing
This isn’t VOR navigation parse you can call it “HSI” navigation. Most airplanes got a plan VOR and that is what cause confusion for most people. You would be flying away from a VOR thinking the course is to your right instead of left cuz it doesn’t compensate for heading changes 🤷♂️💀
Hey, I’m 14 and about to start flight school but I’ve always been confused are you allowed to film while operating an aircraft? I search everywhere but the answers are not very concluding
I think I have it! Given R-024 from lethbridge and R-108 from calgary, that puts it within reasonable error of Brooks! Specifically, I was getting about 2 miles north of Brooks, or 50 degrees, 40 minutes North, 111 degrees, 55 minutes West.
That was the best and most simple explanations ,I've heard in a while. Thank you
I’m glad! Thanks!!
Agreed it was a simple explanation, unfortunately vors are being fazed out gradually.
Ive been struggling for about a month everybody was over simplifying it but this here made me understand 💀💀🔥🔥
Wow… I’m so surprised to hear you say that because I thought this video might get a lot of criticisms for making it more confusing! So thank!!! I’m glad it helped!!!
@@EvanLuftAs someone who doesn’t even know what VOR stands for, your explanation was good enough to understand even without context.

Thank you. You just broke the worlds speed record when explaining VOR.
Which makes it impossible to understand it unless you repeat it several times.
You explained this in 45 seconds, my ground school couldn't explain it properly in 45 minutes, thank you! Subscribed!
Hahaha thanks!!! I’m glad it helped. After 15 years… it has become second nature and with a bit of practice you’ll find it the same too!!
Thank you for the simplicity, you end school makes it so difficult to understand 😅

50 hours dual and my instructor couldn’t make it this simple. Thank you bro..seriously.
I just did my first vor flight. This explanation was so much simpler - than most I’ve seen or heard. 👍😎
Thanks a lot!! I remember spending days on flight sim trying to figure it out haha
@@EvanLuft bro, please make another video with a simple explanation like this. u just made all flying instructors look dumb (and that's what we want) we new cadets need simple explaination like this
@@EvanLuft go for every single thing, like what is ILS, every single instrument..but with sample video like this, make it easy to understand
I'm not seeing the numbers. I'm lost. Explain it to me like I'm a toddler.
Gotta love those VOR FAA questions
Seem simple enough, until you. take the test
Some old planes don’t have the big old touch glass display panel.
They have little white numbers that rotate to select frequency and big push buttons to select mode.
When I was flying in the 70’s and 80’s this is all I used plus dead reckoning on sectionals
Did this in the 90s as well!
If you rode a plane in the 80’s. Then I must be a young infant
This is the best explanation for a VOR I have ever heard. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
10/10 very helpfull now how to land a plane, passangers are getting nervous
Short and sweet. Beautiful. Great refresher when prepping for checkrides. Thanks!

That helped me way more then the ten minute vor videos
I have no idea about what he’s talking about but I kinda like it😁

amen! Thank you. I have been looking for someone to explain this to me. So don’t chase the needle and turn the know 😮
Nice explanation. sending love from Calgary :)
I never felt so lost in my life
Those instruments 😮
I know me too sometimes lol!

I needed that in flight school!
I’ve spent 3 hours on this topic and I watch this 45 sec video and actually understand a little bit more 😂
Great simple explanation. 👍

@@jordannewsom4578 thank you so much for the advice my man, i think i'm ready for study at flight school this year, wish me luck
Us flight simmer trying to figure out how to get the VOR code in the first place:
This was good
TY
That was very nice thank you for that
Very nice.....Make a vdo on reverse sensing too....
Wow ❤
Love you ❤
this is actually very helpful lol
If you can learn Tacan / NDB Navigation and approaches in 45 seconds you are officially an Aviation Savant.
What do you recommend me do to learn the controls of the airplane quickly? Is it worthwhile to buy a simulator, go to one, or get flying lessons?
My cfi would have freaked out about me not identifying the vor then throw me out the plane
HSI is easier than CDI. Aircraft equipped with separate heading indicator is more complicated.
You need to verify by listening the aural morse code, or you flunk the IR test! Needs to become an essential habit!
I thought this was the most complicated thing turns out it’s the opposite lol
Do you know of a good way to memorize the morse code that comes with it for easier identification?
No bearing pointer? What type of HSI is it?
Touchscreen insane but it’s a six pack so it levels out
Haha yup!!
Does using the VOR require any communication to avoid flying too close to air traffic?
Do pilots still use VOR now that there is GPS?
You had the opportunity to insert another acronym in there but you didn't. Would have been the ucing for me 😅
Lol I paid a flight school 105k and they didn’t even explain it easy as you, now I get it after days of struggling 😭😭
I've never been in a cockpit. These words are like another language. 😂😂
Lovely
thank you :)

easy but maybe too fast since it s a short of course... anways u gotta know what cdi is and what arrows points where and what... it s easy but i d like more detailed info to make it less confusing
What about hold without VOR ?

Dude I must learn to fly I'm just financially handicapped but I must learn how to fly how can I
Damn i though it was a video game at first lmao
Life is a video game my friend! Haha
Don’t forget to identify it.
But you have to want to go to Calgary.
Can you help me
Were you not taught to identify the station?
