... to put those kind of questions on the Private written exam is just
another way to weed out potential pilots.

That's true. The potential pilots it weeds out are those who are
incapable of understanding VOR operations. Would you prefer to share
the skies with them?

Actually, it doesn't even do that. There are what? Maybe 2 or 3 questions on the
test that deal with VORs? Anybody who flunks 'cause they missed those is also
missing a lot of other knowledge that they really should have.

VORs are just a single example of (what I consider) silly stuff on the
Private written exam. Name five more, and we could pare the test down by
20%.

Although, again -- I wonder if the new Sport Pilot hasn't already done most
of this? Has anyone seen the written exam for Sport Pilot?

Heck, I don't even know if there *is* a written exam for Sport Pilot...
