Well for me, VOR is backup no. 2 behind radar vectors/ handheld GPS, if my
primary GPS goes out. I have been pretty good about logging VOR checks, but
it is starting to seem a little silly since I haven't used a VOR for IFR nav
in years.

Well, since practically everybody uses GPS


Uh... no.


and radar coverage is
essentially nationwide now,


Uh... no.


making sure your VOR is accurate within a couple
of degrees every 30 days, and also keeping a detailed record of that,

seems
a bit out of date.


Oh. I thought you meant just the recordkeeping part. If you have and use

a
VOR IFR it better be accurate.
