High Frequency (HF) Aviation Bands
High Frequencies were widely used for domestic aircraft voice communications years ago.
Very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR)
Very-high frequency (VHF)
Very-high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) ...
Very-high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR). Electronic navigation equipment in which the flight deck instrument identifies the radial or line from the VOR station, measured in degrees clockwise from magnetic north, ...
Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Station - A ground-based radio navigation aid transmitting signals in all directions. A VOR provides azimuth guidance to pilots by reception of electronic signals.
HIGH FREQUENCY- The frequency band between 3 and 30 MHz.
(See HIGH FREQUENCY COMMUNICATIONS.)
HIGH FREQUENCY COMMUNICATIONS- High radio frequencies (HF) between 3 and 30 MHz used for air-to-ground voice communication in overseas operations.
HG
High Frequency
HIGE
Hover In Ground Effect
HIGH-PASS FILTER (HPF)
A filter that allows frequencies above a cutoff frequency to pass while attenuating frequencies below the cutoff frequency; ...
Very-high frequency omnidirectional ranges (VORs) are the main NAVAID that supports the United States airway system. They are located at various airports and consist of 3 main types: High, Low, and terminal.
Very high frequency - radio
VMC
Visual meteorological conditions - good weather ...
Very High Frequency Omni Directional Range. A ground-based electronic navigation aid transmitting very high frequency navigation signals, 360 degrees in azimuth, oriented from magnetic north.
Very High Frequency - A type of radio with the initials referring to the range of frequencies used. VHF radios are used for communication, navigation and a variety of other purposes.
VLJ
Very Light Jet ...
Ultra High Frequency.
Undercamber
The concave curve on the underside of some aerofoils.
HF - high frequency band, used for long range radio communications in the 3-30 MHz range.
Hg - inches of mercury, a unit of pressure measurement.
HIAL - high intensity approach lighting.
UHF: Ultra-High Frequency. Radio frequencies in the 300-3,000 MHz band.
UM: Unaccompanied Minor. Underage passenger (typically 5-15 years old) travelling without a parent, guardian or trusted adult.
HF: High Frequency (radio)
H-Hour: Specific time for commencing a plan of action
Hitler first: Concentration toward winning the war in the ETO versus PTO.
Hit the silk: Parachute from an aircraft, "Chute" ...
HF High Frequency. A portion of the RF spectrum. LRU Line Replaceable Unit. An avionics "black box" that can be replaced on the flight line, without downing the aircraft for maintenance. MCDU Multifunction Control Display Unit.
Radar transmits radio waves of ultra-high frequency that bounce back to their source when they hit something solid. The return signal, or radar echo, is then analyzed by the receiver to determine both the distance and direction of the object hit.
VOR stands for Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range. It is a radio transmitter capable of sending signals resembling the spokes of a bike wheel.
A ground-based electronic navigation aid transmitting very high frequency navigation signals, 360 degrees in azimuth, oriented from magnetic north. Used as the basis for navigation in the National Airspace System.
You can navigate to and from virtually everywhere in the simulator world by flying the VOR (Very high frequency Omnidirectional Range) radials.
A ground-based navigation aid transmitting very high frequency (VHF) navigation signals 360° in azimuth, on radials oriented from magnetic north.
Vector - Heading issued to an aircraft to provide guidance by radar
Victor - Reference to VHF Frequency Band
VFR - Visual Flight Rules
VHF - Very High Frequency
VOLMET - Aviation Weather broadcast
VOR - Very High Frequency Omni-Range ...
Term coined from the phrase "Radio Detecting and Ranging." It is based on the principle that ultra-high frequency radio waves travel at a precise speed and are reflected from objects they strike.
It just happens in aircraft (this is not the case with racing cars) that the part of the load transmitted by friction corresponds to the high frequency engine loads which would otherwise fatigue the rivet (or require an overdesign of the rivet joint ...
Typical non-precision instrument approach procedures include VOR (see VERY HIGH FREQUENCY OMNIDIRECTIONAL RANGE), GPS (see GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM), NDB (see NONDIRECTONAL RADIO BEACON), and LOC (see LOCALIZER) approach procedures.
Terminal VOR (TVOR): Very high frequency terminal omnirange station (located on or near an airport and used as an approach aid).
" It is based on the principle that ultra-high frequency radio waves travel at a precise speed and are reflected from objects they strike. It is used to determine an object's direction and distance.
