3-K-069: VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR)

3-69K1: All directions associated with a VOR station are related to:

Magnetic north.

North pole.

North star.

None of these.



3-69K2: The rate that the transmitted VOR variable signal rotates is equivalent to how many revolutions per second?

30

60

2400

1800



3-69K3: What is the frequency range of the ground-based Very-high-frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) stations used for aircraft navigation?

108.00 MHz to 117.95 MHz.

108.00 kHz to 117.95 kHz.

329.15 MHz to 335.00 MHz.

329.15 kHz to 335.00 kHz.



3-69K4: Lines drawn from the VOR station in a particular magnetic direction are:

Radials.

Quadrants.

Bearings.

Headings.



3-69K5: The amplitude modulated variable phase signal and the frequency modulated reference phase signal of a Very-high-frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) station used for aircraft navigation are synchronized so that both signals are in phase with each other at ____________ of the VOR station.

360 degrees North, magnetic bearing position.

180 degrees South, true bearing position.

180 degrees South, magnetic bearing position.

0 degrees North, true bearing position.



3-69K6: What is the main underlying operating principle of the Very-high-frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) aircraft navigational system?

A phase difference between two AC voltages may be used to determine an aircraft’s azimuth position in relation to a selected VOR station.

A definite amount of time is required to send and receive a radio signal.

The difference between the peak values of two DC voltages may be used to determine an aircraft’s altitude above a selected VOR station.

A phase difference between two AC voltages may be used to determine an aircraft’s distance from a selected VOR station.
