If the aircraft is positioned over Shawboro and tuned to Elizabeth City VOR, which VOR indication would be correct?

When determining the correct VOR indication for an aircraft positioned over Shawboro and tuned to the Elizabeth City VOR, one must understand how VOR navigation works. VOR stations send out radial signals that aircraft can use to determine their bearing from the station.

In this scenario, if the aircraft is directly above Shawboro, the VOR indicator should reflect an appropriate radial coming from the Elizabeth City VOR based on the aircraft’s position. The accurate indication would show the aircraft's bearing or course relative to Elizabeth City VOR.

The selected answer represents the radial that corresponds to an aircraft over Shawboro when tuned to the Elizabeth City VOR. This means the aircraft would be receiving the correct signal and displaying the proper navigation information on the VOR indicator, ensuring that the pilot is aware of their position and can navigate accordingly. Understanding these positional references helps pilots maintain situational awareness and navigate effectively.
