You can test your own VOR you know. It's easy. I check mine every month.


Please explain how?


The AFD has a list of VOR receiver check points which list
the direction and distance over various points on the ground, or
in some cases *on* the ground. Just go there and see what your
VOR/DME says.

There are also VOR test facilities at different airports.

You can also check one VOR against another, if you have two.

Now in my case, I just open my hangar door and there's BLD on
top of the hill just 3.1 miles away. Not everyone is so lucky.
