Tracking inbound and allowing for drift. In the real world, the wind will not be constant, so the heading to maintain track will also change from time to time. In your regular scan of the flight instruments, this is one of the things you would look for. Passage Overhead a VOR Station Passage overhead a VOR station. It may take some time for the CDI and instrument flags to settle down after station passage. During this time, maintain a constant heading on the DG. Passage Overhead a VOR Station Passage of an aeroplane over a VOR ground station is indicated by the following sequence: the needle becoming more and more sensitive, oscillating as you approach the station; the red flag appearing, indicating an unserviceable signal; the to/from flag changing from indicating to to indicating from; and the needle becoming more stable as you leave the station further behind. Tracking From a VOR To track from a VOR, do the following: select the VOR frequency; identify the station; check no flags; and then select the omni-bearing that you wish to fly as track from the station. The VOR indicator will then be a command instrument; that is , you are commanded to fly towards the needle to regain track. Using the CDI as a command instrument. The Importance of a Command OBS Setting You must select an OBS setting corresponding to the required inbound or outbound that will cause the to/from flag to indicate to or from to be displayed. To avoid disorientation, always use the VOR indicator as a command instrument. Tracking Abeam a VOR A common means of checking flight progress is to note the time passing abeam a nearby VOR ground station. The most straightforward procedure is the following: select and identify the off-track VOR; and under the course index, set the radial* perpendicular (i.e. 90°) to your course. * Although there are two OBS settings that may be used to determine when the aircr
