Does a dual check of the VORs for use in instrument flight only count if it

is that meet the FARs?

We had a fairly heated hanger discussion about this and I would like to hear
some more opinions.

How do the airborne advocates read "while airborne" into the regulation?
The implicit requirement is that the station be received with a good
ident and no waving off flag. Granted, that would usually require you
be airborne, but certainly not always.

I can just see it now, "Look, both CDI's read the same. Needle is
centered and they both say NAV. Let's log it as checked and we're good
to go".
