On IFR charts, what does the symbol e indicate near the VOR box?

• A. Satellite remote controlled by Salt Lake Center with limited service.
• B. Long range communications outlet for Great Falls Center.
• C. Voice data terminal for Great Falls FSS.
• D. Remote communications outlet for Great Falls FSS.

Answer: (D)

The symbol shows a Remote Communications Outlet that provides two‑way access to the Flight Service Station. In this case, the e near the VOR box indicates you can reach the Great Falls FSS from that location to obtain weather briefings, file a flight plan, or get updates. It isn’t about satellites or Center communications, and it isn’t a voice data terminal; it’s specifically the ground-based link to the FSS.
