Abstract
VHF Omnidirectional Radio range(VOR) is used as an aircraft navigational aid. The VOR is a short-range air navigation system providing aircraft with its bearing relative to the ground station. The accuracy of a VOR must be checked in accordance with the current ICAO, FAA and domestic regulations. The primary purpose of performing VOR station ground checks is to minimize the need for expensive flight checks by determining the amount and direction of any course bearing inaccuracies being transmitted. In this paper we present current and advanced way of monitoring of VOR system. We verify this way by field test of the monitoring and it is a high performance way to achieve an improvement in accuracy and an effect compared to present monitoring system.
