Using VORs isn't going to help you identify a cleverly disguised airfield.
They can put you in the general vicinity, but they won't pick out a green strip amongst green fields.


I fly to a number of strips which are not marked on any published charts.
My aircraft has no RNAV gear. No problem. GPS co-ordinates, A photo from Google Earth and SkyDemon.


I'm assuming that the OP was referring to identification, the reference to VOR tracking being a Red herring.


I flew up to Perth and back the other day using St Abbs VOR as a waypoint. On the GPS.
