In a typical airborne VOR navigation system, which component provides the bearing information to the pilot via a display?

• A. Receiver
• B. Antennas
• C. Frequency selector
• D. Visual display indicator

Answer: (D)

The bearing information is presented to the pilot through the visual display indicator. In a VOR system, the receiver decodes the aeronautical VOR signal and, using the selected course, drives the indicator that the pilot reads. That visual display (the CDI, HSI, or similar instrument) shows the bearing from the aircraft to the VOR reference and indicates any deviation from the chosen course, giving the pilot a direct, readable sense of direction. The receiver, antennas, and frequency selector handle signal acquisition and processing, but the actual bearing readout is provided by the display indicator.
