This VOR Simulator will help you understand how VOR, VOR DME, LOC, ILS, LDA and a SDF works!

The VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) Simulator was designed to demonstrate the approximate indication that a VOR would display with varying positions of an aircraft in relation to certain navigational facilities.

These include placing the Pitot Static System at different altitudes and changing parameters such as Temperature, Station Altitudes, Station Altimeter Settings, and seeing how this affects the readings of the Altimeter and Airspeed Indicator. The Altitudes selected in the simulation are True Altitudes even though pilots don't fly True Altitudes so that it is possible to compare the indicated results with something more concrete and real. This is the same reason why airspeeds selected are True Airspeeds.

 

A course primarily intended for the general aviation pilot who flies aircraft certified for flight in icing, although much of the information is applicable to all pilots. With an operational focus, this course provides tools pilots can use to deal with in-flight icing.

Who should take this course?
Every pilot who could encounter in-flight icing.

What is covered in this course?
With an operational focus, this course provides tools pilots can use to deal with in-flight icing. Emphasis is on avoidance, detection and exit, as well as the effects of ice accretion on performance and handling and the particular hazard of Supercooled Large Droplet (SLD) icing.

How long will it take?
That depends on you. This course is fairly comprehensive; you may choose to go through the entire course from beginning to end, including exploring the accident links, pilot testimonials and other related information in roughly 4-6 hours. The total time will be much shorter if you skip certain sections or jump directly to sections that interest you most.

A course primarily intended for pilots who make their own operational de-icing and anti-icing decisions. This includes private pilots as well as those who fly business, corporate, air taxi, or freight operations in fixed-wing aircraft.

Who should take this course?
Every pilot who could encounter ground icing - whether their aircraft needs to be cleaned or protected from frozen contamination.

What is covered in this course?
The problems caused by ground icing
When you are likely to encounter ground icing
The basics about aircraft de/anti-icing fluids
How to de-ice and anti-ice your aircraft

How long will it take?
That depends on you. This course is designed to let you determine what you need to know given the type of flying that you do. You can spend as litle as 60 minutes going through the highlights, but you can take much longer (2-3 hours) if you explore all related information and interactive features.
