Hi there, I was wondering what VOR to VOR means? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance…I usually just do a simple flight

It means that instead of using a direct GPS route (from one airport to another airport and going in a straight line), you’re instead flying from one ground-based VOR station to the next.
Although GPS is easy, VOR navigation is taught in flight school, as you never want to be dependent on one mode of navigation only.

It means the route consists of flying from one VOR to another VOR instead of going direct with GPS.

Here is a video I did on VOR navigation. I flew from SLI to SXC along an airway. That is VOR to VOR navigation. VOR Tutorial With Navigraph - TBM 930 - Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 - YouTube
