That’s just the best explanation I ever heard. Many thanks!

That That was it! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Watched about a dozen VOR navigation videos and still Jon's explanation/approach is the best.

İ think the main issue people are having while trying to understand VOR navigation is that it is not super intuitive to have the VOR instrument look nearly the same as the HSI instrument. At least this is the culprit for me.
The difference being, in the HSI you are in the center, while the VOR, the station is in the center. Most important thing is to try to use the To indication as much as practicable.

At 7:50 minutes, where did you get 016 degrees? Love your videos by the way.

[AwesomeAngryBiker]

Did he just make a video without even blinking

[rixxy]

Do they still test pilots on this old junk?

[PatrickDuffy-us]

Why not use a sextant for ship navigation? VOR is like the horse-and-buggy of navigation. It's a waste of resources to build aircraft with VOR technology. GPS made it obsolete. VOR is OLD technology, and should be shut down. Even dead reckoning with electronic gyros can give better results.

And as always, you flight instructors are forgetting something.
When you have explained all the ways that VOR and OBS works, you have students starting to set the VOR settings 250 miles from the station, og students flying in valleys or behind mountains....

Why don't you, and this goes for all instructors, explain the distances that limits the use of an VOR station, or the impact mountains have on it ???

Now i to am a pilot in real life, and i can find soo many explanations on this subject, but no one are explaining the limits...

If you use simple pronounciation it will be more useful
