As others have mentioned, you should always look up the VORs you're
using in the A/FD, which you should have with you as a student.
This thread has been brutal for me, but I must confess that I'm still lost.
I sat down with a CFI and the A/FD this afternoon, and looked for the
section on VORs. I found lots of VOR check points and test facilities, but
I couldn't find anything that listed all the VORs and their declination
settings.
So fine, I stipulate that I never graduated from junior high school (let
along high school), that my parents were niether married nor (in my father's
case) mammals, that 2 or 3 degress won't make that much of a difference, and
that I am so stupid that I have no place in the vaunted intelligensia that
is the GA community in general and this newsgroup in particular. So now
that the flaming is hopefully out of the way for daring to ask the question,
where do I find these things? Surely it can't be that they list these
things in some editions of the AF/D, but not in the one that covers
Pennsylvania. Yet honestly, I couldn't find it and the CFI said that he'd
never even heard of such a thing.
By the way, I'm not training with this particular CFI, so you can't flame me
by saying that my CFI is a retard. He just happened to be around the FBO
this afternoon and I took the oppotunity to ask him about this. Informative
responses appreciated. Insulting ones anticipated.
