Many pilots feel they do, but if we sit several professional pilots down, separately, and ask them how an aircraft flies from a pilot's perspective, you'll get three substantively related, though specifically different answers. Let me play 'devil's advocate' for a minute. A friend of mine was taking power lessons and the CFI asked how a VOR works. My friend started to explain the reference and rotating signals. The CFI stopped him and said 'I see you're an engineer, now tell me how a VOR works'. 'You tune and identify the frequency and set the radial on the OBS'. 'Right'. Tony V. Nope, that's how you work a VOR; he was right about how a VOR works. Language is a funny tool.
