Features Aircraft VOR [legacy - see new app: fDeck]
** LEGACY NOTICE: **The developers latest, integrated flight deck, fDeck: flight instruments is now available.
It is recommended that you use fDeck as this will receive all future updates and support.Aircraft VOR provides you with a GPS based aircraft VOR instrument shown as a typical Bendix/King KI-208A instrument.It lets you tune aircraft navigation Very High Frequency Omni-direction range (VOR) beacons via a worldwide database and allows you to select and track a VOR radial to or from the VOR station.It also optionally shows you your cross-track deviation in metres.Features: - Bendix/King KI-208A face - Worldwide VOR navigation database (downloaded on first use) - Digital CRS and distance to station indications - Option to display cross-track error - Filtered and smoothed display - no jitter or jumping!
- Support for portrait and landscape screens - Support for multiple screen resolutionsUsageIMPORTANT POINT 1 - Please ensure you have an active data connection when starting the app for the first time as it will attempt to download the radio navigation database.Dont use it until you know its working!
Until a GPS fix is obtained, or in case of GPS fix being lost, the VOR on/off indicator will be shown and the distance to station will show ---- Tuning a station Use the app menu to select Tune NAV.
You will be presented with all the VOR stations within 200 nautical miles of your current location.
Selecting a VOR will tune it up.
Hit your devices Back button when you have selected your desired VOR.
Finding out which radial you currently on The first thing to remember when trying to find out which radial you are on is that all radials are from the station.
The indicator is able to show you which direction to track to the station but this is not directly which radial you are on (its 180 degrees out).
To centre the needle and find the radial you are currently on, rotate the instruments compass card until the needle centres with a FROM indication.
Finding out your current bearing to the station Sometimes it is necessary to obtain your current bearing to station.
To obtain the bearing from your current position to the station, rotate the instruments compass card until the needle is centred and the TO flag is showing.
Flying a specific radialSometimes it is necessary to fly along a specific radial to/from the station.
In this case, first select the radial you wish to fly by rotating the instruments compass card to that radial, ensuring the TO/FROM flag is in the correct sense.
The VOR needle will then indicate to you which direction you need to move in order to intercept your desired radial.
If the needle is to the right, fly right.
If it is to the left, fly left.
Upon approaching your desired radial, the needle will close into the centre.
Each dot indicated on the display is 2 degrees, so the needle will start to move when you are within 10 degrees of the desired radial.
You should begin to turn onto a desired course, which matches your radial so that your aircraft heading matches the desired radial when the needle is centred.
You will need to compensate for wind appropriately.
Displaying X-Track deviation You can display you current cross-track error in metres by toggling the menu option.
This will show you the number of metres left or right of track when you close to less than 1km of your desired radial For further information check out http://www.wikihow.com/Navigate-Using-a-VORIf you like this app, please try my other aircraft/flying related apps!

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Not working no more"
sankar das
"Scam - No longer works, do not buy. New app (fdeck) suggested by creator costs $50 to purchase outright, or $4 a month. Both cost way too much for what they offer, especially considering this app used to work wonderfully, and for much cheaper. FDeck is very buggy and not even worth $5 outright. Very disappointed that they abandoned this app."
Max Van Dyke
"Don't work with new Android devices"
Kris wyrick
"It's not working properly"
SHREKANTH
"I would have raited it higher if it would allow a GPS entry as a fake VOR. I fly ultralight and would have likes to put my ultralight airfields into the database... PLEASE :) Now, (1-2-2020) The app doesn't work at all. Says no stations in range, and still no way to add a lat/long to go to. It is now unusable"
J Dortch
"Look at the last update date, 2012. This guy will just take your money. I've had the paid version and was trying to run it on the latest Android version and it tells me the app will probably have problems."
Craig Fordahl
"the app is not usable and no button is coming on the screen to tune to the frequency, it would be good if you can fix the bug and update coz its waste buying the app and not able to use it..."
lakhan chouhan
"Very cool. Appears to work just fine and allows me to dust off the cobwebs in the comfort of my living room."
Randy Silvestro
"I would love to be able to see the menu with the different VOR stations. Just as good as the free version at the moment as the app automatically selected a random station which is not even the closest one from my location and doesn't give me the option of changing it. This app has the potential to move from 1 to 5 stars if this problem is solved."
A Google user
"Can't select the vor, ths menu is not visible on the screen, I hope it gets fixed, I'm using an lg"
