VOR radials are referenced from the VOR station outward and correspond to QDR.
Answer
true
Explanation
A VOR radial identifies a magnetic bearing from the station to the aircraft. This is the sense of QDR, not QDM, which is the magnetic bearing from the aircraft to the station. **Key takeaway:** Radials are outbound magnetic directions from the VOR.\n\n**Glossary:** **QDR**: magnetic bearing from a station; **radial**: magnetic direction outward from a VOR.
