Where can I get a vot check?
Locations of airborne check points, ground check points, and VOTs are published in the A/FD. To find what you need, go to the DOCUMENTS page and select CATALOG in the upper right corner.
How do you know if an airport has a vot?
If your airport does have a VOT, here’s what to do: Tune your VOR to the VOT signal. Set the course selector to 0 degrees, and the track indicator should be centered. The TO-FROM indicator should read FROM.
Which VOR test facility requires the instrument to place 360 or 180 to the course index?
VOT
VOT (VOR Test Facility) A VOT is coded to emit the 360 Radial in all directions around the facility. This means the airplane’s VOR Receiver should read either: 360 FROM or 180 TO, regardless of the aircraft’s location in relation to the VOR.
What is the airborne use of a VOT VOR test facility limited to?
The airborne use of VOT is permitted; however, its use is strictly limited to those areas/altitudes specifically authorized in the Chart Supplement U.S. or appropriate supplement. b. To use the VOT service, tune in the VOT frequency on your VOR receiver.
What is vot in aviation?
VOR Test Facility (VOT): A ground facility which emits a test signal to check VOR receiver accuracy. Some VOTs are available to the user while airborne, while others are limited to ground use only.
What are the oxygen requirements for an IFR flight eastbound from Milford?
The required minimum crew must be provided and use supplemental oxygen, and all occupants must be provided supplemental oxygen for the entire flight above 15,000 feet.
When using a vot to check the accuracy of a VOR?
To use the VOT, tune to the appropriate frequency and center the CDI. The omni-bearing selector should read 0° with a FROM indication, or 180° with a TO indication. The allowable error is ±4°. VOR receiver checkpoints are listed in the A/FD.
How does a DME work?
The rule-of-them is that if you’re at least 1NM away from the station for every 1,000′ AGL, slant range error is negligible. So if you’re flying at 5,000′ above the DME station (AGL), and you’re at least 5NM away from the station, your DME readout will be accurate.
Which flight time may be logged as instrument time?
Which flight time may be logged as instrument time when on an instrument flight plan? Only the time you controlled the aircraft solely by reference to flight instruments. Six instrument approaches, holding procedures, and intercepting and tracking courses in the appropriate category of aircraft.
What is the maximum IFR altitude?
What is the maximum IFR altitude you may fly in an unpressurized aircraft without providing passengers with supplemental oxygen? A) 14,000 feet. B) 15,000 feet. C) 12,500 feet….1.4.0.5.2.A.1.

Which is the most accurate VOR test facility?
The acronym most taught to IFR students is VODGA. This stands for VOT, Ownship, Dual, Ground, Air. Let’s take a closer look at the steps to check your VOR receiver using this acronym. The VOR Test Facility (VOT) is the most accurate and is the preference to check your VOR receiver. Not all airports have a VOT.
Why are 360 degrees chosen for the VOT test?
Selecting 360 degrees as the VOT test radial makes sense because it means that both the reference signal and the radial phase signal are the same phase and it makes the VOT simple to construct. I don’t know for sure, but I doubt the VOT would be housed close to an on field VOR, if for no other reason than to avoid interference.
What’s the difference between A VOT and a VOR?
A radiated VOT from an appropriately rated radio repair station serves the same purpose as an FAA VOR signal and the check is made in much the same manner as a VOT with the following differences: The frequency normally approved by the Federal Communications Commission is 108.0 MHz.
Can A VOT box be used in the shop?
In addition, many avionics maintainence facilities have a VOT box they can use to test the equipment in the shop and we have used them before to get a check in when the aircraft hasn’t flown in a while (we don’t have any other ground points on the field). If you are identifying a VOR and hear T-E-S-T can you use that station?
