Navigation Systems
VOR and Marker Beacon Systems:
Two VOR systems are installed on the aircraft, labeled as VOR L
and VOR R. Both systems use one common VOR antenna (the VOR
antenna is also used by the localizer receivers until the localizer
beam is captured for the approach). Each VOR system integrates a
marker beacon receiver, but the marker beacon receiver in VOR R is
permanently disabled. The marker beacon antenna receives signals
when the aircraft is overflying an outer marker (OM), middle marker
(MM), or inner marker (IM)—or an airway marker; airway markers
are indicated by IM symbols, but use specific Morse identifiers that
are different to the standard IM Morse identifier.
(The simulator models the VOR cone-of-confusion effect, and the power
class specific and figure-of-merit specific service range of each VOR.)
