Question

What does a red VOR 2 on the ND mean?

1) The aircraft is approaching the VOR 2 station.
2) The aircraft is flying away from the VOR 2 station.
3) The VOR 2 station is not in range.
4) The VOR 2 station is malfunctioning.

Answer 1

A red VOR 2 indication on the Navigation Display usually suggests that the VOR 2 station is malfunctioning or there is a reception issue with the aircraft's equipment.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you see a red VOR 2 indication on the Navigation Display (ND), it typically means that the VOR 2 station is malfunctioning or that the aircraft's receiver is unable to properly interpret the signals from the VOR station. The VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) is a type of short-range radio navigation system for aircraft, which enables the aircraft to determine its position and stay on course by receiving radio signals transmitted by a network of fixed ground radio beacons. It is usually not related to the direction of flight in terms of approaching or flying away from the station, nor does it directly indicate whether the station is in range or not.
