I obtained my pilot certificate in 1976 so my “go to” navigation aid was a VOR in those days. I thought it was extremely easy to use! Never got lost. You have to always remember to verify that you are tuned to the correct VOR frequency though.
Yes!!! I learned to fly in the early 2006 and surprisingly VOR’s were very common then as well. It is amazing to see a lot of pilots now that don’t know how to use them or use them proficiently I actually found the VORs to be very easy too! :)
Haha awesome!!! Perfect timing!! If you come out with any pointers, feel free to post them here and I’ll pin the comment for others to see as well! :) ✈️👍👍 have fun in there!!
Training at this moment VOR/DME approach and i had never realized that you could use your cdi to now which radial you are crossing, could definitely help me out sometime if im looking for my airport while IFR. Thanks Evan!
I would gladly do that!! Stay tuned!!! I like when people give me suggestions! :) so I appreciate it! And also… let me know what you think of the videos I post too because I always want to make sure they are improving :) I appreciate criticism as well :)
Awesome thanks so much!! Yup I’ve got some I’m ready to post!! :) been building a little backlog of full flights to post! :) or half flights posted as 2 videos :)
I have two Garmin G5. And a Garmin Aera 660. And a basic VHF com radio Can I do VOR Navigation? Can’t my GPS follow a VOR radial even if it’s not using the actual VOR radio signal?
Technically no, BUT it would follow the track if the track is between/to/from a VOR waypoint if it is in the GPS. Basically like NDBs. They may not be serviceable in real life but their still in the GPS database as a waypoint and therefore you can fly to the waypoint as if it was the original NDB. :)
Absolutely love your videos. Working on my ATPL over here in Germany, and any and all review of these concepts is overwhelmingly helpful 🙏 bonus that Germany and Canada both operate under ICAO (I think). Keep the videos coming please 😁
I completely agree! Flying via wars in understanding how they work is very simple in real life however, as soon as you start to draw them out and look at them critically on a piece of paper, they are so confusing!!!
I think your best advice here is just do it over and over again. This applies to not only to VORs but most other instrument flight devices. Especially if you can do it over and over on MSFS. Nobody gets hurt... except for your ego.

Stop bragging
Perfect timing. Headed into the flight school this morning to brush up on my VOR for my CPL check ride. Thanks Evan 👍👍

Awesome video and easy to understand. Thank you
Could you please do a video about holds as you fly a hold?
I would gladly do that!! Stay tuned!!! I like when people give me suggestions! :) so I appreciate it! And also… let me know what you think of the videos I post too because I always want to make sure they are improving :) I appreciate criticism as well :)
@@EvanLuft I thought this video could’ve been improved if you actually tracked inbound and outbound with said VOR
Thanks man for this one. It was very useful for me.
I’m so glad!! And any tips you can give me and the viewers that you’d like to share as well feel free to post them!
Great work - thank you ❤
Hey Mate, I think longer videos would be awesome! Love the content.... full flights?
Awesome thanks so much!! Yup I’ve got some I’m ready to post!! :) been building a little backlog of full flights to post! :) or half flights posted as 2 videos :)
Vey cool. Flying Vlogs are super entertaining. @@EvanLuft
I've seen you on insta and always loved your videos. Now since im doing my CPL im watching you teach a VOR lol
Haha thanks so much man!!!! :) :)
Thank you! This video has helped me understand vor 👍
Great Video :)! can someone give me the name of the intro song @0:18
Evan can u tell me how many grades to study to become a pilot do we need any university degree or just college ??
Man you do whatever in the end it will just be money costful, doesnt mean you should stop working at school 😉
What is your advice for studying for the PPL checkride?
Wait, do you turn your aircraft to that heading or wait till the cdi centers then turn, or center the cdi manually then turn?
Outstanding and easy to assimilate video. It appears you are in a King air. What model?
What location is at 0:23 ?
I have two Garmin G5.
And a Garmin Aera 660.
And a basic VHF com radio

Aqwesome. Thanks :)
I want to become a flight instructor in Canada please tell me how can I become one
i am a student and want to become a commercial pilot any advice ?
very good.... would be a bit better if hold the camera.. and comments a bit longer.. as a bit too fast
Absolutely love your videos. Working on my ATPL over here in Germany, and any and all review of these concepts is overwhelmingly helpful 🙏 bonus that Germany and Canada both operate under ICAO (I think). Keep the videos coming please 😁
Stupid question. At 1.31 howndo you know you have turned the CDI in the correct direction?
Do you have a "VOR 101" video for non.pilots?
Can someone tell me what plane Evan flies?
Currently an instrument student. Real world, VOR’s don’t seam too difficult. As for the written test material, frackin confusing and a lot harder!
I completely agree! Flying via wars in understanding how they work is very simple in real life however, as soon as you start to draw them out and look at them critically on a piece of paper, they are so confusing!!!
I know you said it is cdi even i can see the title cdi there but isn’t it actually hsi .?.
Ty 👍🏻✈️🛫🛫🛬
What about triangulation using vor?
I could do a demonstration actually :) I’ll make one using the garmin pilot app
@@EvanLuft oo have you done a comparison between Garmin pilot and foreflight?

Hey Evan I am big fan of u and aviation and want to become pilot in future
Can I have the shootout to my aviation channel pls 😢❤
Hey that’s great to hear!! I’ll check out your channel!
@EvanLuft I hope u checked his channel
I didn't understand shit 😃i still have a long way to go, wish me luck!
For a novice this is extremely confusing 😂
I feel really dumb after watching this (not a pilot)
MFS 2020😂
