Is there a limitation that prevents dual VOR's in a jet panel? This applies to the full VOR with a CDI and OBS, not the RMI. Also talking about "steam gauges", not glass cockpits.The C-172 panel has the dual VOR's, but most (if not all) other panels that I have do not appear to. Thanks,Bruce.

The default B737-400 panel has dual VOR capability via the RMI. I suppose you could have two separate gauges installed in a panel like the C172. Note, however, that the second VOR gauge in the C172 doesn't have the glideslope bar.I think it is more of an expense issue for small aircraft to use the VOR gauges vice RMIs. The higher cost equipment provides more capability, such as, a flux gate compass to eliminate the need to constantly adjust for gyro drift. The RMI and ADI provide the same information as the VOR gauges.W. Sieffert

Thanks. I was looking for a second VOR gauge to practice some instrument rating manouvers in something faster than the GA single prop aircraft. How's your flying going? :)Bruce.

I got my PPL on February 3, 2004. Since that time, I have been training in a Citabria (Airbatic spelled backwards!). The Citabria is a limited aerobatic capabable aircraft. However, my goal is just to get a taildragger endorsement and NOT aerobatics endorsement.I do like the Citabria for three reasons:One, it has a stick vice yoke. Since I write left handed, the yoke gets in the way of my kneeboard and of course you control most GA aircraft with the left hand. With the stick, you fly right handed, which allows me to use the kneeboard and write with my left hand.Two, the tandem cockpit allows for a better all around view.Three, control of this aircraft is more critical than the Cessna 172. It requires more and quicker control inputs, especially during the takeoff and landing sequence. It will help me improve my overall flying capabilities. W. Sieffert

Sounds great! There's nothing like the real feel of flying.As you can no doubt figure, I'm doing my instrument rating currently :). Bruce.
