Definitive guide to position finding using ADF/VOR:

1. Place Sporty's "inop" sticker over ADF head
2. Place Sporty's "inop" sticker over VOR head(s)
3. Take out handheld GPS, switch on, allow to find satellites (preferably do
this prior to take off)
4. From friendly colour display on GPS, observe exact ground position, track, altitude, etc.

Seriously, why would anyone want to use an ADF to find their position other than to pass a test, or maybe as an intellectual exercise kind of like airborne Sudoku?
