TACAN and VOR Procedures
(iii) From 18,000 ft AGL up to
and including 45,000 ft
AGL at a radial distance
out to 130 nm
c.
Identified by 3-letter aural Morse code
identifier or a recorded automatic voice
that alternates with a Morse code
identifier
d.
Most VORs can also be used to
transmit voice communications to
aircraft, such as scheduled and/or
urgent weather data

HSI Indications:
VOR Cone-of-Confusion
- Bearing pointer removed
- CDI removed
(2) HSI VOR bearing pointer will be
- Numeric bearing removed
removed when within the cone
Station passage:
- Bearing pointer, CDI, and other
- data reappear exiting the cone
(3) HSI VOR CDI will be removed
VOR CONE-OF-CONFUSION
when in the cone
(4) HSI digital VOR bearing numbers
will be removed when in the cone
(5) Due to the negligible size of this
cone-of-confusion, VOR holding
fixes are located directly over VOR
stations

Normally you will tune the published VORTAC
channel numbers; not the VHF/VOR frequency
technologies to generate bearing

Can tune VHF/VOR frequency for bearing-only
