What is a VOR? What frequency range and band is it in?

What is a VOR? What frequency range and band is it in?

VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range (VOR) is defined as VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range, an aircraft navigation system operating in the VHF band.

VOR's are assigned radio channels between 108.0 MHz and 117.95 MHz (with 50 kHz spacing); this is in the very high frequency (VHF) range.

What is CRM?

What is CRM?

Crew Resource Management (CRM) is the effective use of all available resources for flight crew personnel to assure a safe and efficient operation, reducing error, avoiding stress and increasing efficiency.

How does a stall strip work?

How does a stall strip work?

A stall strip, usually located close to the wing root, causes the airflow to separate at a lower angle of attack and ensures that the wing root stalls before the wing tips.

What is profile drag?

What is profile drag?

Profile drag, also known as pressure drag or form drag, is the drag caused by the separation of the boundary layer from a surface and the wake created by that separation.

It is primarily dependent upon the shape of the object and increases directly with speed as the faster an aircraft moves the more air molecules collide with it.

How would you navigate if all VOR's and NDB's en route fail?

How would you navigate if all VOR's and NDB's en route fail?

With the IRS/INS/GPS or visually.

How would you explain to your neighbour what the difference is between a precision and a non-precision approach?

How would you explain to your neighbour what the difference is between a precision and a non-precision approach?

A precision approach uses both lateral (from left to right) and vertical guidance. A non-precision approach only uses lateral guidance.

What are the dangers of flying into thunderstorms?

What are the dangers of flying into thunderstorms?

Dangers of flying into thunderstorms:

Severe wind shear and turbulence (with a risk of structural problems, loss of altitude, loss of airspeed) Severe icing Hail Lightning strikes (with a risk of damage to electrical systems) Radio Communications and Navigation interference from static electricity in thunderstorms

What is the mean chord line?

What is the mean chord line?

It's the wing area divided by the wing span.
