Using a VOR is not part of what we learn for PPL instrument flying.

Then PPLs don't know how to fly by instruments.

A min of 5hrs (IIRC) is spent learning to fly by instruments. Not
instruments to guide one to a destination - but instruments to keep the
plane upright - basically, straight and level. Here in NZ I was taught
to do this on a limited panel too (I would imagine that's pretty
standard anywhere).

I thought it was great fun - I extended my limited 'IFR' time w' my
instructor, asking him to put the plane into unusual attitudes and then
I'd recover under the helmet. We even did spin recovery while under the
helmet. I loved it.
