This course is intended to provide Air Traffic Engineers with a basic knowledge of VOR principles. It is intended as a pre-requisite to further, in-depth, DVOR equipment courses.
Training Objectives:
On completion of the course, the student will be able to:
- List the basic principles upon which DVOR depends for its operation.
- Correctly identify the elements of the transmitted frequency spectrum.
- With the aid of a block diagram, describe way in which the reference and variable signals are generated in the transmitting equipment.
- Identify the various elements of the transmitting aerial system and specify the signal which each radiates.
- Summarise the principles of operation of the aircraft VOR receiver and its associated instrumentation.
- State the relationship between the received reference and variable signals for an aircraft on any given bearing from the VOR.
- Explain the importance of monitoring and describe how the ICAO requirements in this respect are satisfied.
- Summarise the effects on service of typical failure scenarios.
- Demonstrate familiarity with the appropriate ICAO specifications and with Flight Inspection techniques.
Course pre-requisites:
None, although a good knowledge of electronic engineering principles is assumed.
