Quoting from the FARs- hint ;)

Sec. 91.171 VOR equipment check for IFR operations.

(a) No person may operate a civil aircraft under IFR using the VOR
system
of radio navigation unless the VOR equipment of that aircraft--
(1) Is maintained, checked, and inspected under an approved procedure;
or
(2) Has been operationally checked within the preceding 30 days, and was
found to be within the limits of the permissible indicated bearing error
set
forth in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section.

Wow - why be so judgemental, man? Do you really know what this guy's
"endeavor" is, or what resources he may or may not have available to
him/her?

I think he found the right place to ask such a question, though as was done
in the first reply, I think he should be pointed to the source in addition
to being given the answer (e.g., "teach a man to fish", etc.).

Peace

After 40 years of seeing lazy IFR pilots end up dead, and seeing the trend of
just wanting to get by on the increase, you bet I am judgemental on this one.

Yeah, I can forgive his not knowing - my memory gets worse as I get older,
but he definitely should know where to find the answer. It's not that hard
to find the FAR's, either hard copy or on the web. And asking a question
on usenet when getting the *correct* answer matters is begging for trouble.
I wouldn't bet my life on any information I get here without checking it
first. The 18 year-old beauty may really be a 50 year-old pot-bellied
pedophile and the IFR expert may have never been in a plane - you can't
tell from here. Look it up & you know.

Maybe you both should be more JUDGMENTAL about yourselves and learn how to spell.

and you know this as fact dont you.
did you know there is a possibility that your assumptions could be wrong. maybe
after 40 years its time to retire and look for another job, you know it was an
old pilot here who parked a airplane in the ditch because he couldnt follow the
little lights on the runway. Judgemental yes I am, when your that old hang it up.
its old bold pilots like you who also cause accidents

Wow, we're really privileged to have this idiot^H^H^H^H^H person active
in our group.

Anyone know how to pronounce "asshle"? Or what a moran is? Something to
do with glaciers maybe?

I hope he treats ATC the same way, should be fun to be on the same freq
some time.

"Hey asshle [however you pronounce it], 12345 somewhere near some VOR
or other, gimme vectors to where I'm going, and quick".

There aren't very many old, bold pilots.

The "e" in judgement(al) has been an optional way of spelling for a long time.

[jeff]

there are a few, seen some lucky ones make it, one around here we nick named Mr GPS,
his was flying in in his C-210 and his GPS went out, so he wasnt able to find the
airport, was violating class B, just all kinds of screwed up, he was like some zillion
hour pilot also, what happened in the end was he crashed 1500 ft short of the runway.
he survived, his wife surveved. plane was pretty tore up, it sat out in the desert,
between the road and the runway for a few days.
