Record VOR Checks

Replace the Cockpit Sticker

FAR 91.171 requires a VOR accuracy check within the preceding 30 days before you can use VOR navigation under IFR. Most pilots track this on a sticker in the cockpit or a note in the back of the logbook. AircraftMX gives you a proper digital record that's organized, searchable, and always accessible.

Every Detail the Regulation Requires

Log each VOR check with all the details the regulation requires: the check type (VOT, ground checkpoint, airborne checkpoint, or dual VOR), the date, location or facility identifier, bearing error for each VOR receiver, the frequency used, and the signature of the person who performed the check. AircraftMX supports digital signatures captured directly on your device, so you can sign off on the check right from the ramp.

30-Day Currency at a Glance

The VOR check list shows your complete history of checks, sorted by date, with the most recent check prominently displayed. At a glance, you can see whether your 30-day window is still current or whether a new check is needed before your next IFR flight. The Dashboard widget also surfaces your VOR check status alongside other currency items.

Track Accuracy Trends Over Time

Each check record stores bearing errors for both VOR 1 and VOR 2 receivers, so you maintain a running accuracy history. Over time, this data can reveal trends — a slowly increasing bearing error on one receiver might indicate an antenna or receiver issue worth investigating before it causes a failed check or, worse, inaccurate navigation.

Stay IFR-Legal, Effortlessly

For IFR pilots, VOR checks are a routine compliance item that's easy to let slip. AircraftMX keeps the record clean, the history searchable, and the status visible — so you never have to wonder whether you're legal to file that next instrument approach.
