et... It was a response to the statement, "You don't need a VOR receiver to be able to know where a VOR radial is, when flying VFR." You don't see the connection? No, I don't. Please explain how it's done. For VORs with a printed compass rose, it's trivial. The compass rose will be oriented to match the radials, and you simply plot the radial based on that. For VORs without a printed compass rose, just correct magnetic heading with the deviation for the VOR, and plot the radial based on that. Either way, you get a line that is drawn on your chart. You use your eyeballs to visually identify landmarks on the ground that show you where the line is. Honestly, it makes me wonder how you ever became a pilot, given that you can't figure out basic stuff like this. You must find it difficult just to navigate your way out of a paper bag. Pete |
