What should a pilot do to verify their position using a VOT?

Centering the course deviation indicator (CDI) and confirming the radial is the correct method to verify a pilot's position using a VOT (VOR Test Facility). A VOT provides a way for pilots to check their VOR equipment by broadcasting a specific frequency. When a pilot tunes the receiving equipment to the VOT frequency, they should receive a signal that indicates whether their navigation equipment is functioning accurately.

When the pilot centers the CDI while receiving the VOT signal, it shows that the VOR receiver is correctly aligned with the VOT's broadcast. The CDI centers when the aircraft is on the VOT's radial, typically either from or to the facility, providing a visual confirmation of the aircraft's position relative to the VOT. This understanding of the instrument’s functionality is crucial for maintaining navigational accuracy during flight.

Other choices may seem relevant but do not directly fulfill the requirement of position verification with a VOT. For instance, checking the morse code for verification does help confirm that the VOT signal is operational but doesn't provide direct feedback about the pilot's current position. Using the AFD (Airport/Facility Directory) could provide location details of the VOR but does not aid in immediate verification of position. Contacting ATC
