VORTAC Combines a VOR with a military TACAN, or tactical air navigation system, to enable military aircraft to operate in the national airspace system. must have a separate DME airborne unit. Marker Beacons: 75.0 MHz; Localizer: 108.1-111.95 MHz; Glide Slope: 329.15-335.0 MHz; VHF Omnidirectional Range . The VHF omnidirectional radio range (VOR) is an omnidirectional (360° of azimuth) range station which operates in the very high frequency (VHF) band of the radio spectrum between 108 to 118MHz, sharing the band from 108 to 112MHz with the localizer component of the Instrument Landing Systems (ILS). VOR/DME: Collocated VOR navigational facility and UHF standard Distance Measuring Equipment. MF operates in the range of 300 KHz to 3 MHz. A non-directional (radio) beacon (NDB) is a radio transmitter at a known location, used as an aviation or marine navigational aid. Instrument Landing System . This VOR has integral DME, providing slant-range distance via a UHF frequency paired with the VOR’s VHF frequency. W: Without voice on radio facility frequency. You must be on the minimum altitude of 1000 feet (AGL) above ground level in order to pick up an Omni signals service range. Objectives Maintain a highly reliable, safe, and efficient ground-based navigation system through relocation or conversion to Doppler configuration of VOR facilities. Design of transmitters, receivers and antenna are relatively less complex than other high frequency transmission bands. The Very High Frequency Omni-Directional Range (VOR) is a ground-based electronic system that provides azimuth information for high and low altitude routes and airport approaches. receive distance information from a VORTAC. VOR beacons are found between 108 MHz and 117.95 MHz. ‘VOR’ stands for ‘Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range’. A photograph of a VOR ground station is shown below: Figure 1: Gamston DVOR Medium frequency was one of the most popular frequency bands since the beginning of wireless radio transmission in the early nineteenth century. The top part of this range, from 112.0MHz to 117.95MHz, is only used by VOR transmitters, but the lower range, from 108MHz to 111.95MHz, is used by VOR and ILS Localizer signals. 108.0-117.95 MHz VOR is a navigation system that uses radio transmissions between a beacon on the ground and an instrument on an aeroplane. Radio frequency is used for radio communication technology, wireless networks and telecommunication systems. VOR: VHF navigational facility-Omnidirectional Course only. Overview of VOR. VOR stands for VHF Omnidirectional Range and is a way to help aircraft navigate by using fixed ground based beacons. The VOR system operates in the VHF frequency band , from 108.0 to 117.95 MHz. Introduction to DVOR The DVOR is a radio navigation aid recommended by the ICAO and introduced internationally for short and medium range aircraft guidance. c.

The beacons are specially designed in such a way that the aircraft can use the beacon to determine a bearing towards the VOR transmitter. For each ILS localizer signal there is a matching ILS glideslope frequency, so the pilot only tunes the localizer and the glideslope is tuned automatically to match. Frequency Range Chart The radio spectrum refers to the section of the electromagnetic spectrum that holds all possible radio frequencies ranging from 3 kHz to 300 GHz. to ICAO Annex 10 is from 960 MHz to 1215 MHz.
