Title: Describe VOR, distance measuring equipment (DME), and navigation aids.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training II (20053-II) > Section: Describing Navigation

Description should include the following:

- The VOR system is present in three slightly different navigation aids (NAVAIDs):
  - VOR provides magnetic bearing information to and from the station.
  - When DME is also installed with a VOR, the NAVAID is referred to as a VOR/DME.
  - When military tactical air navigation (TACAN) equipment is installed with a VOR, the NAVAID is known as a VORTAC (VOR tactical air navigation).
- DME is always an integral part of a VORTAC.
- Regardless of the type of NAVAID utilized (VOR, VOR/DME, or VORTAC), the VOR indicator behaves the same.
