Your task

Select an OBS course and intercept inbound to the fictional station, then observe the indication through station passage.

Keep in mind

Confusing an inbound course with the same-numbered radial can reverse the intended geometry. Station passage has an ambiguity region.

Technique & worked examples

A radial is a direction FROM a station. Distinguish the radial from the course you intend to fly. Review the ground trail alongside CDI movement.

Session format & results

Idealised VOR geometry with a 0.2 NM ambiguity zone. A common magnetic reference is used; no real radio facilities or signal errors are simulated.

Review the debrief before repeating. Compare attempts using the same device and settings. Local results are practice measurements, not official scores or predictions of selection.

Controls, fullscreen & privacy

Use on-screen controls or the keyboard shortcuts shown in the exercise. Full screen is available after starting and expands only the exercise; devices without browser fullscreen use focus mode. Finishing or leaving returns you to the site.

No account or score upload. Session history is optional and stays on your device. Interview notes and individual personality responses are not saved in that history.
