Near the straight line identify the VOR stations. A typical VOR station has a range of about 100 NM AGL. To prevent FROM navigation the legs should be less then 50 NM in length. To prevent continues tuning of your radio receiver and ever changing course the legs should be above 25 NM in length. If possible prevent NDR stations since they need continues attention. Prevent legs longer as 100 NM. | Near the straight line identify the VOR stations. A typical VOR station has a range of about 100 NM AGL.

Draw a line from station to station, each line is a leg of the route. Calculate the length of each leg. From the length of the leg and ground speed calculate the time for each leg. Use a compass rose to read the heading of each leg. Identify name, type, location and frequency of the stations. | Draw a line from station to station, each line is a leg of the route.

The result should be a sheet listing the legs of the planned route. | The result should be a sheet listing the legs of the planned route. | ||
