How does vor provides bearing information?

VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) provides bearing information by transmitting a signal that aircraft can use to determine their position relative to the VOR station. The VOR station emits a signal that includes a reference phase and a variable phase, which allows the aircraft's receiver to calculate the angle or bearing to the station. Pilots can read this bearing on their cockpit instruments, enabling them to navigate accurately by flying to or from the VOR station. This system is crucial for maintaining situational awareness and ensuring safe navigation in aviation.
