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.

Geoff, don't worry--that last sentence alone establishes that you're smarter
than most of us here, as well as wittier and much more socially adept. :-)

As for your question--as Bill just replied, the A/FD intersperses navaid
listings with the airport listings. In addition, an on-field navaid appears
in the associated airport listing, rather than having its own listing.

It's a good idea to read an A/FD almost cover to cover once, to find all the
good stuff therein. (It's not necessary to read all the airport listings,
but a broad sample is helpful; of the ones you choose, read each
exhaustively.)
