These checks take a full working day, so the aircraft is usually parked inside of a hangar. These checks require many more man hours, tools, hangar space, and aircraft downtime. 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.

We were assigned a slightly ridiculous alteration to the route I filed: MANCH T316 LAMMS T608 ROC that had us flying past Sodus to the Rochester VOR before setting up for Sodus. Once on with Syracuse, I decided to rectify the inefficient routing at the end of my instrument clearance and requested direct to Sodus from the Syracuse VOR.

I checked the hangar and had no bulb in my parts cabinet. a gallon, then secured hangar space for, you best sit down, $100 a night. 7 IMC, finally breaking out into VFR as we approached the CVI VOR. Hovering over the CCV Cape Charles VOR was a line of building clouds. New bulb installed and checked, we are ready to go!

We departed Ocean City in very strong gusty winds and pointed for Snow Hill VOR. I tucked 3 Tango Charlie in the hangar and we decided to drive to Vero Beach FL. Why do I think this will be like the hangar wait list. Todays routing will be Ocean City (KOXB) to Mt. We were still rolling on three good gear. Lunch was excellent!

Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six Navigation equipment includes a Garmin GNS-530W GPS navigator and two VOR receivers for secondary navigation. Hangar space is sometimes available for under $50/night – a nice option if storms are expected. For this trip, the middle row seats were removed to make the cabin a 1st class four-seater.

Just north of the Selinsgrove VOR, Harrisburg called with the first change in routing. A prop lock is required on all aircraft parked outside of a hangar at the MD-3 airports, though throttle locks provide an alternate means of compliance. Cherokee Four Eight One is cleared direct Baltimore, then direct destination."
