I am building a VFR Europa with a Becker transceiver and a Vertex handheld

that is panel mounted and plumbed into the intercom/audio panel. It is

easily removable.



The Vertex has a simple VOR in it.



I heard a pilot talking today, speaking of having to keep up with VOR

checks so he is legal when he gets ramp checked.



Can someone enlighten me as to what a VOR check is and how you do it, how

often you do it and if you think I need to do it?



I also have a panel mounted Garmin 296.



Thx.

A VOR check is only needed if you fly IFR.



Every 30 days you must do and make a written record of one of the following,



1) The degree variation of the VOR when tested against a VOT (VOT Test)

signal.



2) The degree variation when tested at an approved VOR test point. Normally

a surveyed location on an airport ramp with a nearby VOR.



3) If dual VOR equipped, a cross check between the 2 VOR's when tuned to the

same station/radial.



The allowed variation is spelled out in the FAR's.
