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.


I used to teach in J-3s and we had to check the students out in a Cesna
170 or a 150 before sending them off for their check rides so they could
do a little hood time, night time and radio time. they did them in one
of those two airplanes as well.
