Ok, so today I went up for a solo flight to work on my VOR skills, I worked on tracking a VOR with the TO and FROM flags. On the 180, I have two Navs and two VOR gauges. The top one looks like this
and the bottom one looks like this.
So here's what I did. I got the VOR freq, turned it on both radios, and listened for the ident. After I made sure I had the correct VOR, I turned the top one to the radial that I wanted to track. I then turned the second one to the radial that I was currently on. So I compare the two and I made my turn (with various bank) until the two VOR gauges were in sync, and I made sure that my heading indicator was in sync with the gauges. So once the two VORs were in line with the radial that I wanted, and my heading indicator was right, I basically followed the VOR in until I pass over it and it went from TO to FROM. Did I track the VOR the right way or use it in a right way at all?
