My introduction to VOR navigation was in the air. My instructor started with "VORs are really easy to use. Here's how..." I find them a lot easier to use in the air than to explain on the ground.
Our Captain Joe has returned. The moment I saw the notification I immediately clicked on the video without second thought and it was worthwhile😎 Keep it up Captain❤️🤘😎
@@amaraziz8131 In many countries we affectionately call them both as "Captains", and sometimes refer to the four strip captain as "Commander" or "Commandant" in attention to his/her seniority and experience, but both pilots are called "Captains"... calling a first officer as "First-Officer" is simply not usual!
Captain Joe, I'm a student pilot and this is truly the simplest and best explanation of operating the VOR. This has helped me so much and it's stuck in my memory. Sincerely, Thank you Sir.
Hi Joe, what a perfect timing, Im half way in my PPL theory course and VOR is current topic! Your explanation made such a difference to understand VORs! Thank you!
Having just flown across the country from IAD to Dallas to Maui then home to SF to IAD I was able to figure out runway markings thanks to you. I too love the music at the end. Thanks for keeping us safe in the skies
Thank you Joe for that great video on the importance of classic navigation. That remembers me when I was young lieutenant in signal troops in the 80's and I had to conduct my section through hills and valleys with the only help of map and compass. That was great time.
This Is The Best, Clearest and Simplest Explanation of how to use VOR for Situational Awareness and Navigation That I've Seen on RUclips! Thank You For Sharing
I've been studying flying, actually flying, and learning about VOR's for 2 years now. This is the first time I understand how to navigate using them. Your video is the best! Thanks!
Wow! Probably the simplest and easiest to understand explanation out there. Thank you! As a rusty pilot returning to the air, this has helped me relearn VOR. With the new normal being GPS and flight apps, I still want to remember, understand and be able to use VOR until the day it goes away.
After figuring out that I was initially tuned in to a DME station, I was finally able to fly a short trip from Helsinki Malmi (EFHF) to Turku (EFTU) only by instrument and without GPS. Thanks a lot for this briliant explanation! (Flight was done in simulator, so I hadn't had any lessons/testing before.)
Joe, I have read and followed several written and video explanations of VOR and this is the one that brought it all together with the basics first and great examples. Thank-you very much for taking the time to share your expertise.
You forgot the most important part. After tuning to the VOR, identify it! You want to make sure you are actually tuned to the VOR you wanted. Also, if the station is undergoing maintenance or testing, the identifier will be removed. No identifier == don't use this navaid.
@@allthehandlesweretaken You listen to the signal. Here in the States and Canada, and, I think, everywhere in the Americas, every VOR has a three-letter Morse code identifier and most also have a voice identifier. Some, if not most, modern radios will decode the Morse ID and display it on the panel. I presume VORs in the rest of the world work the same way, but I don't know that for sure.
Great video Joe! I fly around vfr relying on SkyDemon and had forgotten how to even use VORs but this was an excellent refresher and reminded me how easy it is. I’m going to make a video to see how I get on!
Nice Code Joe! Good to repetition of VOR navigation! My flight instructor gave me the advice that the radial I am on is always on the opposite side of the flag which makes it easy to determine the radial I‘m flying on when the needle is cantered.
I love your videos I want to become a pilot when I have time as I am a locomotive Engineer and don't have alot of free time. Keep up the outstanding work
Very true...as a professional Mariner I watch youngsters cling to glass screens oblivious to coastal navigation aids such as light houses, beacons etc. Failing to realise the importance of secondary/ back up means for cross check or GPS failure. Most unfortunate...the wind mill bit was interesting. Thanks Capt. Joe...!
Another great technical video Joe, keep doing more of these please mate! I can picture the faces of your casual viewers frantically trying to understand all this but they should get it, both of your VOR videos are explained as simply as they can be..... they're perfect for beginners. You should be an instructor Joe, you have a knack for explaining complicated things in an easy to understand way.
Good video Joe. I remember my time fondly, flying around Lake Okechobee, refuelling in Pahokee, night flying to Sebring. All in the little R22 to build time. Florida is great for flying :-)
You make complex topics simple and together with the humor you put in your videos make them so interesting to watch. Thank you Captain. Learning a lot from your videos.
Great video mate, I'm studying my CPL in Australia at the moment and wrapping my head around NDB's and VOR's has been difficult, but you this video has definitely helped !!
Thankyou. Was on X-Plane and i couldnt figure out this tutorial level. it didnt explain things very well. Now it all makes so much sense. Very well explained.
I have heard on atc using the therms inbound radial and outbound radial. I wonder how vor's are powered in these remote locations like the Grand Canyon VOR. Tnx!
I have my PPL and never learned the trick to go to 45° to intercept a radial. Thanks for this :) I also learned to use two VOR to get the position, can be handy. I learned this on my exam day, we were VFR on top and he showed me how we would get to the airport with the two VORs, it was really nice to learn this way :)
I’m no pilot, but I play one on Flight Sim X Steam Edition. Jus wanted to say thanks! The sim doesn’t cover necessary “how-tos” like these. Thank you, my friend...
You should do a couple videos on A.D.F. I know it is very old tech BUT some older aircraft have them and students should know how to use them properly. The only aircraft I have flown with glass panels, multi function displays or heads up displays are military. I don't fly them any more and the aircraft I do fly are old and simple like me. (Two com/nav's, an A,D.F. and a transponder with Mode C) If you really want to get into short lived nav aids do some videos on LORAN, That would really be a blast from the past for us old time stick guys..
Great and educating video. Many years ago I wish I had a VOR receiver on board while flying VFR over Nevada. It would have make nevigating back to base lot more easier.
next time i have to use on of them before i get lost in the mountings ....VOR .you funny .never seen a pilot like you.well done .have a good journey where ever you go
Thanks for the video! I’m trying to master VOR navigation currently. Hopefully my CFI (who turns off the GPS screen so I can’t cheat 😂) will be impressed tomorrow during our lesson that it’s clicked worth me now!
Hello Captain Joe, great 2nd video as usual. I appreciate your explanation of VOR. I think I asked before, but don’t remember. Can you make a video explaining Cat 1,Cat 2, and Cat3. Please and thank you. Love your channel and your enthusiasm explaining aviation. Great videos. Big ups from Toronto Canada.👍😎
Woah...thanx...thanx a lot Joe Sir....I m just 15 years old and because of you I HAVE UNDERSTOOD ALL BASICS OF AVIATION....hope we will be flying together very soon
Great two part video, Captain Joe👮 It do's me reminding on the tree part serie on How to fly a holding pattern, what I have watching manny times👍 I wish you all the best, Captain! And wé still allways learning😥👮
This was a really good video. I’m sure there’s a lot more details to it, but the description and examples in this video made perfect sense. Thanks a ton! Personally I think it’s fun to run the calculations. It feels like navigating during WWII.
If the US were to turn off the GPS constellation would aircraft be able to determine location with ESA's Galileo or Russian GLONASS? Not saying VOR isn't needed. I'm just not sure if aircraft are compatible with other satellite navigation systems beside GPS.
Thank you soooo much sir... You rescued me from a lot of depressing about VOR... Thank you so much... You have so beautiful and frankly style of understanding ... Love from pakistan... 😚
At 9:28, why doesnt the pilot turn the OBS knob, 'Fr indicator' to the 'To indicator' now that you're flying towards the VOR? I'm confused by the fact that you're supposed to establish a 'Fr indicator' and then correct it by turning to a 'To indicator'. Am I missing out on something? Thanks!
Did you get your pilot license from a butcher? the VOR frequency at 1:49 is out of 108-118 Mhz range. Correct frequency is 113.1 Mhz which can be seen slighty bottom right of the 119.0. My students were really confused about it. Please be careful in the future.
I am currently in ground school, and we just covered VOR's. This explains it perfectly, thank you! The question I have is, when navigating to Okeechobee, why would we navigate an outbound radial from Pahokee? Wouldn't it be more intuitive to fly an inbound radial to Okeechobee instead?
My introduction to VOR navigation was in the air. My instructor started with "VORs are really easy to use. Here's how..." I find them a lot easier to use in the air than to explain on the ground.
obviously your life depends on it when your are in the air. On the ground? not much
VOR in a nutshell
One of the best explanations of VOR navigation I've ever heard!
Correct! This is a beautiful summary.
The man is a legend
So clear and concise. Will share with my students.
Best and easiest explanation I've ever heard. Thank you.
Our Captain Joe has returned. The moment I saw the notification I immediately clicked on the video without second thought and it was worthwhile😎 Keep it up Captain❤️🤘😎
Mzamo Mzileni ‘captain’ 😂 but he is a first officer ever noticed

* looks at GPS and zoom in *
Hahahahaha
one of the best aviation education videos on youtube.
I’m learning how to fly in a 1974 Piper with no GPS installed. Thus this is incredibly helpful and clear, thank you very much for your explanation!
You make complex topics simple and together with the humor you put in your videos make them so interesting to watch.
Thank you Captain. Learning a lot from your videos.
I've been struggling with VOR navigation in MSFS2020, but now I feel really comfortable doing it. Thank you very much!
It's crazy how listening to someone else's explaination can make things so much easier. Thanks for this very clear and easy video!
Great video mate, I'm studying my CPL in Australia at the moment and wrapping my head around NDB's and VOR's has been difficult, but you this video has definitely helped !!
Old school flying is still my best part about flying,I loved the explanation you're good at it.Keep doing more.
One of the best videos that I've seen on VOR navigation. Thank you.
U rock!
I'm gonna become a pilot for sure
Ur videos are soo amazing
Thanks man. Amazing work!

YES!!!! our captain is back thanks for the video cap
In US they call area above VOR is "Cone of confusion". Great video. FAA requirements for PPL includes navigation using VOR. Students must know that.

It took me to understand the topic of VOR after several months. Thanks Captain Joy. You are my best instructor. Thankyou!😍
Absolutely the best. My instructor is using some of your videos for teaching.
Love the reg on the little plane..nice touch grate video thanks Joe good job
next time i have to use on of them before i get lost in the mountings ....VOR .you funny .never seen a pilot like you.well done .have a good journey where ever you go
Can you make a video about step-climbing and when you should or should not use it? Thanks for all your videos!
My Head is spinning ! Respect to the pilots who made the flights safe for us!!! (Y)
Agree to some extent, note, hey, try to understand how an automatic car transmission works then,go on I dare you, 😊😊😊...
@@adrianpeters2413 I will try VOR in my flight simulator thank you 😁
Outstanding Capt. Precise, simple use of VOR navigation.
Thank you very much for this wonderful educational video. I have seen many other videos on VOR, but your two videos are the best among them.
These videos are helping me prepare for my Instrument Checkride. Thank you!

Not saying VOR isn't needed. I'm just not sure if aircraft are compatible with other satellite navigation systems beside GPS.
I think I'm going to have to watch this more than once...lol
Even me I have to watch it more than two times to get it fully in my head 😂😂✈✈
Damn I have to pause and rewind it multiple times to process the info and avoid watching it more than once 😅
Totally agree :)
Yeah looks easy but very confusing
Thank you soooo much sir... You rescued me from a lot of depressing about VOR... Thank you so much...

Is the range any different in the UK where captain joe seems to be?
Great video Captain Joe😍love it as always
Joe I want to hear you speaking German. I ❤ your pure English. Is like candy for my ears. 😋
What a superb instructional video! Thank you for explaining VORs in a way I can easily understand!
Thanks for the great explanation, Captain Joe... very helpful examples for this student pilot.
Hey Joe i have a question
Can you explain what a TO/GA takeoff is please?
I am currently in ground school, and we just covered VOR's. This explains it perfectly, thank you! The question I have is, when navigating to Okeechobee, why would we navigate an outbound radial from Pahokee? Wouldn't it be more intuitive to fly an inbound radial to Okeechobee instead?
Great explanation of how that system works!
What are the main textbooks you recommand to learn from in order to become a pilot ?
I still love the music at the end of your videos!!!
Captain Joe!! You're the best on what you do. I learned a lot, I myself struggle on the VOR but you make it simple. Thanks a lot☺☺
Thanks Capt Joe for the simple VOR!
Thank you Joe. I'm not a pilot but I'm interested to be. This helped understand how to use the VOR. Not just what it is or how it works.
Thank you for this Captain Joe!!! ✈️
