Pass Your Instrument Pilot Checkride - IFR Flight Tips - VOR Reverse Sensing Doesn’t Exist! IFR Navigation Orientation FAA Test Prep Help Instrument Pilot

Have you heard of "reverse sensing" for VORs? The problem is - "reverse sensing" does not exist! This video shows you the "away from the needle, away from the flag" rule to get you oriented to VORs quickly and easily! it also points out some basics of VOR navigation and orientation. Remember, when navigating with a VOR, that the indication you receive is the same regardless of heading. As mentioned in the video, look at the headings displayed on the OBS when deciding what way to fly to intercept the selected VOR radial. If you do this, rather than think in terms of "left" and "right" then you will never have reverse sensing when using the VOR (This video is NOT about using the HSI or horizontal situation indicator.) Figures are taken from the FAA's Instrument Pilot Knowledge Test figure book. Check out my other videos especially the ones explaining how various instruments work and the section about VORs!
