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.
VERY HIGH FREQUENCY- The frequency band between 30 and 300 MHz. Portions of this band, 108 to 118 MHz, are used for certain NAVAID's; 118 to 136 MHz are used for civil air/ground voice communications.

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.

The very high frequency [VHF] band used in civil aviation radio communications lies in the 30 to 300 MHz frequency range thus the 10 metre to 1 metre wavelength range.

Equipment that determines bearing to a radio station with a VOR transmitter; VOR transmitters usually contain ILS transmitters in addition to VOR; A b...
VOR - very high frequency omnidirectional range. A radio navigation aid operating in
the 108-118 MHz band. A VOR ground station transmits a two-phase directional signal
through 360ø.
VHF: Very High Frequency. Radio frequencies in the 30-300 MHz band, used for most civil air-to-ground communication.
VIS: Visibility
VNAV: Vertical Navigation
VOR: Very high frequency Omnidirectional Range.
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.
VOR stands for very high frequency omni-directional beacon radio. In simpler terms, it is a rotating beacon that it oriented to magnetic north and broadcasts a signal in all 360 degrees in an outward fashion.
Pilots typically use high frequency radio instead of very high frequency radio to communicate with a Center when flying over the ocean, because of HF's relatively greater propagation over long distances.

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

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).
technology changes enabled navigation via radio beacon signals, and in May 1941, the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) approved an ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) radio range for scheduled airline navigation. This evolved into a very high frequency ...
