The problem with navaid radial/distance is that it relies
on the navaid location being known to the flight data
processing computer. If the computer doesn't recognize
the base fix it won't process it.

Steve,

How does the flight data processing computer handle direct
VOR routing between VORs it doesn't recognize? Does it
barf on that too, or is this barfing specific to VOR
radial-distance?

If it doesn't recognize the VOR, it would have to barf on both.
