If an RMP is used to tune a VOR, ___________ is/are tuned to the selected frequency and course

If an RMP is used to tune a VOR, ___________ is/are tuned to the selected frequency and course

• A. the respective VOR
• B. the GPS receivers
• C. both VORs
• D. the ILS radios

Answer: (A)

When you use the Radio Management Panel to tune a VOR, you're loading the frequency into the NAV radio and setting the desired course for that receiver. Each NAV radio (the one you’ve selected on the RMP) is responsible for its own VOR station, so the RMP tunes the specific VOR receiver to the chosen frequency and the course you dial in. The GPS system and the ILS radios aren’t controlled in this same way by tuning a VOR on the RMP, and you don’t end up pairing the frequency with those systems in this operation. So the VOR that corresponds to the RMP you’re using is the one that’s tuned to the selected frequency and course.
