How is a VOR station identified on a navigation chart?

A VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) station is identified on a navigation chart by a three-letter identifier. This identifier is used to uniquely distinguish the VOR station from others and is crucial for pilots to ensure they are navigating using the correct reference point. The three-letter code is typically displayed near the station's location on the chart, making it easy for pilots to spot and utilize the VOR for navigation purposes.

If you're looking at a VOR on a chart, for example, you may see something like "JFK" for John F. Kennedy International Airport's VOR. This code is standardized and allows for quick identification without confusion, particularly in areas where multiple navigational aids exist.

While other methods, such as graphical symbols or color codes, serve various functions in navigation charts, they do not specifically identify VOR stations in the same straightforward manner as the three-letter identifier does.
