There are a few exceptions when the aircraft can be flown outside of this timeframe, such as when a special flight permit is issued. There are several ways the VOR can be tested for accuracy of operation, and the results can be performed and logged in an aircraft log by the pilot.

VFR Weather Minimums It can be tough to keep all of the different requirements straight when it comes to visual flight rules (VFR) weather minimums. Each class of airspace has its own rules, and sometimes the rules change for night vs. day flying. You don’t need a full sim to practice using VORs, though.

IFR vs VFR Radio Calls Different flight rules have different radio calls. When starting out, you will fly under visual flight rules (VFR). Instrument flight rules flying (IFR) is more procedural, meaning more radio calls. Requesting flight following from approach or center controllers is just as easy.

They try to make the underlying airspace easily navigable by visual flight rules (VFR) aircraft. If flying under IFR, you’ll need a VOR or TACAN receiver, or an RNAV system (GPS). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has tailored each airspace to ensure traffic flows in and out of the airport safely.
