A VOR radial is a magnetic bearing measured
- outward from the station.
- towards the station.
- from the aircraft heading.
Explanation from PART66Online
A radial is a magnetic bearing extending from a VOR: the station's two signals are in phase at magnetic north, and the receiver measures the phase difference between them to find the aircraft's bearing from the station. A course flown towards the station is the reciprocal of the radial, and the VOR indication is not influenced by the aircraft's heading, so an aircraft stays on the same radial whichever way it is pointing.
