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.

The practical test standards require that you show navigation by
electronic aids.
You would have to use an aircraft that had one, bring one along, or
install it. You could probably rent an aircraft for that part of the
checkride only, but again, you would have to be legal in it.


Mmm, exactly.
