Default Why The Hell... (random rant)

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.
