What is a VOR? What frequency range and band is it in?
What is a VOR? What frequency range and band is it in?
VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range (VOR) is defined as VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range, an aircraft navigation system operating in the VHF band.
VOR's are assigned radio channels between 108.0 MHz and 117.95 MHz (with 50 kHz spacing); this is in the very high frequency (VHF) range.

Why do some airplanes have dihedral wings?
Why do some airplanes have dihedral wings?
Dihedral provides:
Lateral stability (during a roll) Wing clearance, wingtip to ground has more space
How does a stall strip work?
How does a stall strip work?
A stall strip, usually located close to the wing root, causes the airflow to separate at a lower angle of attack and ensures that the wing root stalls before the wing tips.
What is Vs?
What is Vs?
Stall speed is defined as the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable.
Why do the fuel gauges read in kg, but fuel is delivered in litres?
Why do the fuel gauges read in kg, but fuel is delivered in litres?
Because the specific gravity can change with temperature.
Is the landing gear in the Seneca electrically or hydraulically operated?
Is the landing gear in the Seneca electrically or hydraulically operated?
We are missing the answer.
Why do jet aircraft fly as high and fast as possible?
Why do jet aircraft fly as high and fast as possible?
Because the air is less dense thus the TAS is higher for a given power setting and for this reason modern jet aircraft are designed to be most efficient at high altitude.
