VOT VOR Test Facility
Asked by: kyleusher@gmail.com 48310 views Flight Instructor, Private Pilot
When we are testing our VOR's on the ground to a VOR TEST FACILITY (VOT) why does it not matter what position our airplane is on the airport in relation to the VOT? I understand it only emits a radial beam on the 360 degree radial, and that we tune our OBS knob to 360 FROM or 180 TO for the indications.
and
Is the VOT using the same facility as the VOR if the VOR is on the airport? (i.e. KMKC) Just a different frequency?
