Very High Frequency (VHF) Omni-Directional Range (VOR)

VOR is a radio navigation system used by aircraft for short-range directional information. The system uses Very High Frequency (VHF) signals to receive information from ground-based beacons, allowing pilots to determine their position relative to the beacon and navigate accordingly. The VOR system provides pilots with accurate and reliable information about their current location and destination, making it an essential tool for safe and effective aviation. VOR works by transmitting information in a 360-degree radius around the beacon, allowing pilots to receive directional information regardless of their position relative to the beacon. This makes the VOR system ideal for both short-range and long-range navigation, as it can provide reliable information across a wide range of distances. Additionally, VOR can be used in conjunction with other navigation systems such as GPS, making it a versatile and valuable tool for modern aviation.
