How does an RMI respond when tuned to a VOT station? I know that a VOT station for testing VORs broadcasts a 360 radial signal, so on a VOR, the indication would be 360 with a 'FROM' or 180 with a 'TO' indication, but how does an RMI respond if tuned to a VOT station?

Would the RMI simply home to the station because it points to the direction signal is coming from, or would it point at the 180 position because it detects that it is on a 360 radial 'FROM' the station?
Yes, it will point at the 180 position

VOR Test


  A VOT differs from a VOR in that it replaces the variable directional signal with another omnidirectional signal, in a sense transmitting a 360° radial in all direction


VOR Receiver Check


  With the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) centered, the omni−bear- ing selector should read 0 degrees with the to/from indication showing “from” or the omni−bearing selector should read 180 degrees with the to/from indication showing “to.” Should the VOR receiver operate an RMI (Radio Magnetic Indicator), it will indicate 180 degrees on any omni−bearing selector (OBS) setting.
