Actually, it doesn't even do that. There are what? Maybe 2 or 3 questions
on the test that deal with VORs? Anybody who flunks 'cause they missed
those is also missing a lot of other knowledge that they really should
have.
VORs are just a single example of (what I consider) silly stuff on the
Private written exam. Name five more, and we could pare the test down by
20%.
Although, again -- I wonder if the new Sport Pilot hasn't already done most
of this? Has anyone seen the written exam for Sport Pilot?
Heck, I don't even know if there *is* a written exam for Sport Pilot...
