Several methods for deriving position from VOR (without DME) have been developed and evaluated in this study. These methods permit navigation to arbitrary waypoints using either two VOR's or one VOR and a clock. These algorithms have been tested in computer simulations and in flight tests. The single VOR method appears to be the most practical and is a candidate for an automated light plane area navigation system, called VORNAV.
