UHF/VHF Automatic Direction Finding (U/V ADF): An Automatic Direction Finder that determines relative bearing to a transmitter to which it is tuned, in either the UHF band or VHF band.
VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR)
These are ground-based radio navigational aids scattered around the country. Lines between them, called Victor airways, are the primary instrument flight paths throughout the country.

VHF Omnirange (VOR).
Equipment that determines bearing to a radio station with a VOR transmitter; VOR transmitters usually contain ILS transmitters in addition to VOR; A basic guidance mode, providing lateral guidance to a VOR station.
VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) Ground- based radio navigation aid. More than 1,000 VORs electronically define Victor Airways and Jet Airways, "highways in the sky." Most IFR and many VFR flights follow airway routes.
[edit] VHF subnetwork
A network of VHF ground radio stations ensure that aircraft can communicate with ground end systems in real-time from practically anywhere in the world.
VHF Omni-directional Radio Ranges [VORs] operate in the Very High Frequency aviation navigation [NAV] band between 112.1 and 117.9 MHz.

VHF radio signals are limited to line of sight. This can be a problem when flying in these area's. Behind a mountain radio reception is shielded off. Like the shadow from the mountain by the sun.
VHF
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 ...
VHF/AM radio.
VISUAL
Sighting of a friendly aircraft/ground position; opposite of BLIND.
The VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) navigation system has been in widespread use in the United States since the 1950s. However, it is being replaced by GPS.

VOR: VHF Omni-Range. A radio transmitter used for navigation. A companion receiver in the airplane provides an indicator that shows the direction from the station to the airplane.
VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) A land-based radio navigational system. A VOR station transmits a signal that the receiver can use to calculate its postion relative to or from the station.
Goxio - VHF direction finding (France)
GP - glidepath
gph - gallons per hour, an expression of fuel consumption or fuel flow (FF) in either imperial or U.S. gallons. Usually lb/hr for turbine-powered aircraft.
In addition to dual VHF nav, com and GPS, the G1000 incorporates a mode-S transponder with Traffic Information Service uplink. As with the 430/530, the top Garmin system provides full-color terrain mapping and weather uplink capability.

ASOS is broadcasted over discrete VHF frequencies and the voice portion of a local navaid as they are designed to be able to reach out as far as 25 nautical miles horizontally in all directions, and up to 10,000 feet Above Ground Level (AGL).
VERY HIGH FREQUENCY (VHF) OMNIDIRECTIONAL RANGE (VOR) - A radio transmitter facility in the navigation system radiating a VHF radio wave modulated by two signals, the relative phases of which are compared, resolved, ...
Flight crews and air traffic controllers communicate by radio using VHF frequencies between 118 and 136 megahertz.

A ground-based navigation aid transmitting very high frequency (VHF) navigation signals 360° in azimuth, on radials oriented from magnetic north.
Very-high frequency (VHF). A band of radio frequencies falling between 30 and 300 MHz.
They can find you real fast, and give you a vector toward wherever you want to go. Even without radar, some flight service stations can find you by doing “direction finding” on your VHF radio transmissions (although this system is ...
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
