Vector for Sky Highways & V for Victor~

For a very long time I did not understand until I got into aviation, how Vector works? Following NATO Phonetic Alphabet V for Victor but then what is Vector, lets elaborate a little bit about Vector and Victor in this article!

When I first started my ground school studies at Brampton Flight Center in Caledon back in the days I started ABCD from scratch as we all do in childhood classes. Bollywood movies made some of the examples saying Apha Charlie Tango some of those code words that can be used between 2 to exchange information~ real phonetic alphabets that Pilots use in communication with Towers in the Airports. These Phonetic Alphabets are kind of unique in aviation no matter you go which part of world they remain same, not knowing what future will bring when we will start to travel in space as a family tour. Letter V stands for Victor in phonetic alphabets.

Lets move on with Vector~ Studying sky traffic rules & regulations that Pilot needs to follow while flying an aircraft! Now; lets say if you are going to travel 100 Kilometers, you most probably going to use Highway rather than internal roads in suburban’s. All of these highways are marked by a name from certain distance A to B and from B another Highway starts! Flying an Aircraft; Unmanned Aircraft traditionally known as drone or Onboard Pilot always follows these rules up in the sky and each of these flying highways are marked that you can find in VFR charts~ According to what I studied, Vector is a starting verb that follows with a number or alphabets as a name of Flying Route i.e. highway to fly.

Number of websites such as SkyVector offers VFR Charts online as well there are printed and digital copies available of VFR Charts if anyone interested to buy for flying or learning purposes.
