In navigation, what type of information does a VOR provide to pilots?

• A. Elevation angle.
• B. Bearing information to a station.
• C. Temperature reading.
• D. Altitude information.

Answer: (B)

A VOR is an azimuth/navigation aid that provides bearing information to a selected station. The system transmits signals that let the aircraft’s NAV receiver determine the angular direction (the bearing or radial) from the station to the airplane, which the pilot uses to fly courses defined by that radial. This directional information is what enables precise navigation along a chosen path toward or away from the VOR.

It does not supply elevation angle, temperature, or altitude data—those come from other systems (for example, altimeters for altitude, weather sensors for temperature, etc.).
