VOR Station without Compass Rose

[Hiro]

Hello,

Does anybody know where I could find more info. on a VOR station
without a Compass Rose around it? What I heard is that it is a VOR
station with the service volume of Terminal. Any FAA references would
be appreciated.

Thanks.

There are 3 classes of VOR, Terminal (T), Low Altitude (L), and High
Altitude (H).

Ranges

T

25 nm 1,000 - 12,000 ft

L

40 nm 1,000 - 18,000 ft

H

10 nm 1,000 - 14,500 ft
100 nm 14,500 - 60,000 ft
130 nm 18,000 - 45,000 ft

A T VOR is usually (always?) on an airport and I've never seen one on a
chart that has a compass rose, which would be basically useless anyway
because of the limited range.

See the appropriate Airport/Facility Directory, available on line at

What VOR?

Maybe, maybe not. The primary determinant on whether to depict a compass
rose appears to be chart clutter.

MTW VOR/DME is T-Class and depicted on the Green Bay and Chicago sectionals
with a compass rose.

The presence or absence of the compass rose on any given chart is a
question of chart clutter, and should not be taken as an indication of
the type or characteristics of the navaid. Many VOR's on airfields do
not have the compass rose depicted on charts, but this in no way
indicates they are terminal vor's. The place to find more information on
a VOR on an airfield is in the facilities directory. For off-airport
facilities, use standard service volumes for the type of VOR, listed on
charts.
