I have a question about flying IFR and navaids.
Say you are putting along on a victor airway navigating towards a VOR. You are past the COP for the previous VOR on the airway. You are not in radar coverage. The VOR suddenly goes out of service and you loose your nav signal. So you are basically flying blind. What do you do?
Assume you can't receive a signal from the previous VOR on the airway and you don't have a GPS.
Second question - Is there any guidelines in the FAR/AIM about using a VOR signal past the published service volume? Let's say you are navigating from VOR 1 to VOR 2. The distance between the two VOR's is 85 NM. VOR 2 is out of service. Can you legally navigate using VOR 1 along this airway beyond 40 NM if you are still receiving a good ID from VOR 1?
Thanks and fly safe.
