VOR Station |

| VOR (very-high-frequency omnidirectional range) stations are radio antennas on the ground that broadcast navigation signals in all directions to aircraft. By using a special receiver, a pilot can determine his or her aircraft's direction of travel relative to a VOR station. Pilots navigate from station to station along corridors known as airways. | ||||||
