Not that I would disagree with what you said above, g but what if the
plane the pilot wants to take the test in does not have a VOR reciever in
it? Can that plane be used, or do you have to find a different plane to
take the test in?

I never had seen that question asked or answered around here before.


I don't know the practical test standard has the part in it about showing
the skills to use electronic navigation. While any of the requirements
could be met with any number of systems, ADF, VOR, GPS, Loran. I have not
a clue as to how you would do it in say a Cub that didn't have any.


I fly with a student in a C-170B, that has an ADF and a GPS only. He
needs to show that he can track a bearing based on electronic navigation. No
VOR, no Problem.

That's the question though Al. What if that C-170B had neither an ADF or
a GPS.
