W symbol next to the VOR

[B737NG_Pilot]

Why does "W" next to a VOR represent in an en-route chart. Was asked as an airline interview question. No chart was shown.

Guessing it gives some sort of wx info, but without a chart, it really is hard to say.

Almost as bad as my first airline interview, where the guy unfolded the chart (which depicted a few hundred thousand square miles), and says "please show me a compulsory reporting point"



Talk about needle in a haystack...

Thanks for the reply. As per the interviewer its not weather.

Jeppesen ? Some other format?

[B737NG_Pilot]

The question was related to Jeppesen....I have tried looking through legends but was unsuccessful in finding it.

Waypoint? Sure it wasnt a V as that means Victor airway.

Without voice . VORW.

Jepp : Under Radio data - General Navigation aids .
