Huh? What does the wind have to do with VOR's. If the needle is
centered, you're within the tolerance of the VOR. The tolerance
is primarily 4-6 degrees. This keeps you inside the airway at
moderate distances from the VORs.


What about at more than moderate distances from the VOR? At 40 miles from
the VOR 6 degrees is 4 miles.


At 51 miles, 4.5 degrees gives you 4 miles. 6 degrees gives you about
6. Theres' 2 miles of protected area outside the airway.
Statistically you're within it, but even in the worst case you're
safe.
