VOR Standard Service volume legality

[Bernoulli]

Let's say you are 10,000 feet on an IFR flight plan and ATC tells you to fly direct to a high altitude VOR that is greater than 40 NM away. ..IE... you are beyond the Standard Service Volume of the VOR according to the AIM. You tune and identify it, center the CDI...all looks good...BUT...Because you are not on a published route and you are beyond the Standard Service Volume of 40 NM and you are a slant Alpha (IE...no RNAV or GPS)...are you allowed to accept the clearance or legally should you remind ATC you are a slant A and request a vector until able? Refer to AIM 1-1-8(a). I'm looking for legality here rather than practicality. Practiaclly...yeah...just center the CDI and go to the VOR... but is it legal if you are beyond the Standard Service Volume?Thanks in advance for all sincere responces.

How do you know you are more than 40 miles away if you are /A ?

until you get a serious answer on here, just ask for a vector direct to the VOR, and u'll usually hear "fly heading XXX, direct XYZ VOR when able". that's legal...

DME... Slant A is DME and Mode C.

put your Riddle books away kid, this is the first time in 15 years I have heard someone ask about "legality of Standard Service Volume"

go get a girlfriend

Yeah...I was thinking U.

/G spoils me.

And I agree with satpak...as a Riddler...headin out in a few minutes. Go have some fun.

ATC would probably say that anywho.

Here we go. Come on people. Some serious answers are appreciated. please spare the wise cracks. Once again... it's a question of legality and not practicality. It's a question that requires some knowledge to answer appropriately. If you don't know then don't respond. Apparently you don't know. If someone know the legal answer I'd appreciate it. Once again... thanks in advance to all sincere answers.

how about you go look it up in the AIM and/or Instrument Flying Handbook, and come back and TELL US what the answer is

I have looked it up and can't find anything on it. Perhaps someone well read has come across this question and knows the answer.
