V – VOR Check If you’re flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), your VOR navigation equipment must be tested every 30 days. Logging the VOR check in your maintenance records is a must for compliance. For instance, the transponder check is for clear communication with air traffic control. Why Is AVIATES Important?

All aircraft inside the veil must have an operating Mode C transponder and ADS-B Out. A Mode-C transponder (automatic altitude reporting capability) inside the Mode C Veil. If flying under IFR, you’ll need a VOR or TACAN receiver, or an RNAV system (GPS). However, you will need an operating Mode C transponder and ADS-B Out.
