- 05:0005:00, 31 May 2016 diff hist +1,018 m VHF omnidirectional range →Using a VOR: Added how to find what radial you're on and details of tracking procedure.
- 04:1504:15, 31 May 2016 diff hist +930 m VHF omnidirectional range →Intercepting VOR radials: Whoever wrote this originally wasn't thinking: you can't intercept a 360 degree FROM radial by heading 360 degrees--unless you are quite close and there is a hell of a wind blowing from the west!
- 03:4103:41, 31 May 2016 diff hist +6 m VHF omnidirectional range →Intercepting VOR radials: Terminology: not "bearings" or "courses" but "TO radials" or "FROM radials". "Bearing" should be used with compass or ADF only but we're stuck with "Omni Bearing Selector" instead of "Radial Direction Selector"..
- 03:3003:30, 31 May 2016 diff hist +466 m VHF omnidirectional range →Using a VOR
- 03:2003:20, 31 May 2016 diff hist +478 m VHF omnidirectional range →Using a VOR: Explained why "Cone of Silence/Confusion" exists and what to do about it.
- 02:5802:58, 31 May 2016 diff hist −5 m VHF omnidirectional range →History: You set the desired course on the OBS, not the CDI: The CDI reacts to you setting and position.
- 02:0602:06, 31 May 2016 diff hist +2,289 m VHF omnidirectional range Added info on reverse sensing; clarified terms.
- 00:3300:33, 31 May 2016 diff hist +1,340 Course deviation indicator What you called the "CDI" is the "VOR head" of which the CDI is a part. US GPO: Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge.<ref>Jeppesen Sandersen: Instrument Rating Manual pp. 1-39 to 1-44.</ref></ref>
