Default FAA Written Test

The local Grob-109B had LORAN and VOR installed...
gyro instruments... I am Airplane-Instrument rated,
so I got my 3 hours "in a glider" and took it in some
clouds... legally, with a clearance.

What a HOOT!

(Our local examiner actually gave a sensible answer to this VOR
question. A glider license lets you fly motorgliders, some of which are
a lot more motor than glider. Those definitely have VORs installed.)


Best regards,
