AAAE ACE Operations Module 2 Practice Exam

Where would you find a VOR receiver checkpoint at an airport?

Inside the control tower On the runway centerline More than 1/2 mile from the VOR on a paved area of the apron or taxiway; a 10 ft diameter yellow circle with a yellow arrow pointing to the VOR In the terminal building

Correct Answer:

More than 1/2 mile from the VOR on a paved area of the apron or taxiway; a 10 ft diameter yellow circle with a yellow arrow pointing to the VOR

Explanation:

VOR receiver checkpoints are designated ground locations used to verify a VOR receiver’s accuracy. They must be placed at least 0.5 mile from the VOR, on a paved area of the apron or taxiway, and they’re clearly marked with a 10-foot diameter yellow circle and a yellow arrow pointing toward the VOR. This standardized setup lets pilots perform a reliable, on-airport check of their VOR receivers using a known bearing from the VOR. Locations like inside the control tower or terminal building, or on a runway centerline, wouldn’t provide the proper visibility, safety, or standardized marking, so the clearly marked checkpoint on the apron or taxiway is the correct spot.
