VOR Dual Check

There is nothing in the regs that say a dual VOR check has to be done in
the air. If you can get a valid signal on the ground, why should there
be any restriction. I do this all the time. (Get LEB VOR from KCNH)

Does a dual check of the VORs for use in instrument flight only count if it
has been done while in flight? Or if you do it on the ground (document it)
is that meet the FARs?

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

Oh, well then it must be OK if YOU do it all the time!

I do mine on the ground typically. I don't know of any requirement in
the FAR that it be an airborne check when comparing VOR to VOR.
