Title: Describe VOR and NAV navigation systems.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training II (20053-II) > Section: Operating the Aircraft

Description should include the following:

- The VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) system is present in three slightly different navigation aids (NAVAIDs): VOR, VOR/distance measuring equipment (DME), and VORTAC.
- By itself it is known as a VOR, and it provides magnetic bearing information to and from the station.
- When DME is also installed with a VOR, the NAVAID is referred to as a VOR/DME.
- When military tactical air navigation (TACAN) equipment is installed with a VOR, the NAVAID is known as a VORTAC.
- DME is always an integral part of a VORTAC.
- Regardless of the type of NAVAID utilized (VOR, VOR/DME, or VORTAC), the VOR indicator behaves the same.
