Howdy ya'll,

Is it expected of a student pilot on his private pilot checkride to
intercept a VOR radial and fly towards the station?

Thanks,
Alex

I was given an XC scenario (KCXO to KSHV, which is surrounded by MOA's, but
that's another story) prior to the oral/checkride, and once in the aircraft
I was asked to set out on the first leg, which required flying a VOR route.
Once established, the examiner, apparently satisfied, declared the weather
below minimums at the destination and had me divert to an alternate. From
there we proceeded on with the rest of the PTS. You can expect it on the
checkride, but you will have done it already anyway.
