If that had happened to me, during the 'busy airspace' phase, I could have descended to safely below cloud & continued visually. I checked the forecast cloudbase before I left; If I really cocked up my IFR nav I wanted to make sure I didn't blunder into somewhere I shouldn't. Having said that, I experienced no problems with it the VORS (both of them) & I wasn't relying on them sole
y.
Then why do the flight in the first place if you could do it visually?
VORS can and will pack up at a moments notice. And let me make this perfectly clear there is NO PLACE in IFR navigation for dead reckoning. That is just a disaster waiting to happen.
