VOR

Very High Frequency
Omnidirectional
Range


a radio-navigation system that consists of ground stations transmitting continous signals within the frequency range of 108.0 to 117.95 MHz. mode of modulation is CW or AM.

The VOR system is used by both civilian and miltary aircraft in conjuction with the GPS and ADF (also known as NDB) radionavagtion systems. The receiver in the aircraft determines the bearing of the station in relation to the direction the aircraft is going. This information is used by the pilot to navagate the aircraft. The VOR system is used worldwide and is less suspectable to the magnetic interferance that the ADF/DME and LORAN systems are.

"Roger, Cessna Five Five Tango, Dulles VOR is on 114.3, advise control you have entered class B airspace."

hazardmobile

The term "hazardmobile" generally refers to a small reddish domestic car (Ford) driven by a crazy irishman (who goes to Fairfax High School). The hazardmobile (OR hazard mobile) usally has a small amber (or yellow) light on the roof of the car. It also has a VHF-FM two-way radio installed in it. Because the irishman is crazy, the car also has a manual tranmission in it and an incredibly small engine.

See the red car with the yellow police flasher on the roof and the large antenna on the trunk. Yup. That's the hazardmobile.
