COURSE OBJECTIVES
Name and locate each major assembly of the 1150 DVOR Equipment, explain the function of each, and explain its contribution to the overall signal flow. Operate and align the DVOR equipment in accordance with the manufacturers specifications. Recognize out of tolerance conditions and troubleshoot the DVOR equipment to the module, subassembly or Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) level. Verify and perform hardware and software configuration procedures. Upgrade operating software of the 1150 DVOR equipment. Perform ground check procedures and provide ground support for flight checks.

The bug turns the bearing ring to select the direction the pilot wants to be traveling when he arrives at the VOR.

VOR ONLY

In this case the pilot wants to fly North toward the VOR from the South. He would be on radial 180.

If he is directly south of the VOR, then the needle is centered.

Bearing ring A flag shows that he is flying north To the VOR. (The From flag would not be visible in this case.) After he passes over the VOR, the To flag disappears and the From flag appears.

It is not possible to equalize the phases of two different frequencies. But, consider the Carrier and LSB frequencies.

Their mix in space creates a beat frequency (9960 Hz). This provides half the modulation.

If the phase of the two modulations are the same, then they mix well in space, causing a maximum effect on the carrier (maximum 9960 Hz modulation).

If the phase of the two modulations are not the same, then they dont mix well in space, causing less than optimum effect on the carrier (low 9960 Hz modulation).

If the phase of the carrier is adjusted, it has the opposite effect on the two beat signals.

Movement of carrier phase both advances one beat signal, and retards the other.

When the 9960 Hz modulation is at its maximum, the Carrier to Sideband Phase is at its optimum value.

You will also be told the Spread.

The maximum spread during Flight Check is 4 degrees. There is no corrective action to reduce spread which can be performed during the flight check. All the causes are due to siting.
