VORS
The WPT – VOR INFORMATION Page can be used to view information about VOR and ILS signals (since
ILS signals can be received on a NAV receiver), or to quickly auto-tune a VOR or ILS frequency. Localizer
information cannot be viewed on the WPT – VOR INFORMATION Page. If a VOR station is combined with a
TACAN station it is listed as a VORTAC on the WPT – VOR INFORMATION Page and if it includes only DME,
it is displayed as VOR-DME.
In addition to displaying a map of the currently selected VOR and surrounding area, the WPT – VOR
INFORMATION Page displays VOR information in four boxes labeled VOR, INFORMATION, FREQUENCY,
and NEAREST AIRPORT.
