Final answer:

A VOR compass rose on a Sectional chart is aligned to your magnetic compass to determine your heading relative to the VOR station.

Step-by-step explanation:

A VOR compass rose on your Sectional chart is aligned to your magnetic compass. When using a VOR (Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range) compass rose, you align the needle of your compass with the pointer on the VOR compass rose to determine your heading relative to the VOR station. The VOR compass rose is divided into 360 degrees, with the top of the rose indicating 360 degrees or 0 degrees, and the degrees increasing in a clockwise direction. By aligning your magnetic compass with the VOR compass rose, you can accurately navigate to the desired VOR station based on the radial you select.
