Which function is provided by VOR equipment?

• A. Weather sensing
• B. Communication
• C. Flight data recording
• D. Navigation

Answer: (D)

VOR equipment provides navigation information by giving you the bearing from a VOR station. The VOR transmits signals that let your receiver determine the radial you’re on, so you can fly defined courses along airways or to a specific fix. It’s a precise azimuth reference used for navigation, and if you need distance as well, a VOR can be paired with DME, but the core function remains guiding your flight path. It does not sense weather, handle voice communications, or record flight data.
