Simulador VOR: Radionavegación

VOR · Pilot Hub is an independent app. It is not affiliated with the AFAC, SENEAM, or any other government entity, and does not provide any government services. It is a training simulator developed by a flight school instructor and tested by aviation students; it does not replace current aeronautical instruction or publications.

Learn VOR radio navigation before you even get in the aircraft. A VOR instrument simulator for private pilot, commercial pilot, and instrument (IFR) students, and their instructors. Practice without spending a single flight hour.

The aircraft flies at the speed of your aircraft profile (Cessna 150 or Piper Cherokee), turns at 3° per second (standard turn), and is deflected by the wind. You control it with the instrument, just like in a navigation class.

WHAT IT DOES
· Intercept and follow radials: Choose a course with the OBS, intercept it, and follow it to or from the station.

• Deviation Indicator (CDI) with TO/FROM/OFF flag, and DME next to the directional gyro.

• Holding pattern entries: direct, parallel, or teardrop; see the ideal pattern, the recommended entry when requested, and your flight path for comparison.

• "Where am I?" exercise: with the aircraft hidden, locate yourself using OBS, needle, and DME, and compare your estimate with your actual position.

• Three real VORs in the Cuernavaca area (CVJ, CUA, and TEQ), each with its frequency and Morse code identifier.

• Map with radial rose and distance rings. Chart and plan backgrounds.

• Finger controls, horizontal or vertical. The simulator is used without an account.

PREMIUM — OPTIONAL, ONE-TIME PAYMENT
One-time payment for lifetime access (MXN 119 as of today; current price appears in the store). • No ads.

• 4x and 8x simulation speeds (free: 1x, 1.5x, and 2x).

• Wind, for practicing drift corrections.

• Satellite and semi-satellite backgrounds.
The app is free without a premium subscription, with a discreet banner.

FOR THE CLASS
The instructor says, "Head to the station and enter, waiting for the 090 radial"; the student chooses the entry point, and the app tells them the correct one only when requested. With "Where am I?", the student flies without seeing the aircraft and locates themselves using only the instrument.

Holding patterns follow the international procedure published by ICAO; the simulator physics is a proprietary educational simulation. Always consult the current publications: they supersede any help provided by this app. Always verify.

This is a ground training tool: it does not replace instruction from your flight school and is not suitable for real-world navigation. Part of the Pilot Hub kit, along with E6B, Easy FPL, Pilot ID, and Easy METAR.
