## CS ADR-DSN.N.790 VOR aerodrome checkpoint sign

When a VOR [aerodrome](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aerodrome) check-point is established, it should be indicated by a VOR aerodrome check-point [marking](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/marking) and [sign](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/sign).

(a) Location: A VOR aerodrome check-point sign should be located as near as possible to the check-point and so that the inscriptions are visible from the cockpit of an [aircraft](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aircraft) properly positioned on the VOR aerodrome check-point marking.

(b) Characteristics:

(1) A VOR aerodrome check-point sign should consist of an inscription in black on a yellow background.

(2) The inscriptions on a VOR check-point sign should be in accordance with one of the alternatives shown in Figure N-7 in which:

| VOR    | is an abbreviation identifying this as a VOR check-point;                                                      |
| ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 116.3  | is an example of the radio frequency of the VOR concerned;                                                     |
| 147°   | is an example of the VOR bearing, to the nearest degree, which should be indicated at the VOR check-point; and |
| 4.3 NM | is an example of the distance in nautical miles to a DME collocated with the VOR concerned.                    |
