Razorback VORTAC (RZC) is a good example:
KVBT VOR-A
KVBT VOR/DME-B
K5M5 VOR/DME RWY 13
KH34 VOR/DME OR GPS RWY 12
KH34 VOR/DME RWY 12
KROG VOR RWY 2
KROG VOR/DME RWY 20
KSLG VOR-A
KASG VOR RWY 18
KASG VOR/DME RWY 36
It isn't the length of your trip, but what you do between takeoff and landing.
Oh yeah, those VORs need testing. How long are they slated to be around?
With everything going to RNAV RNP, I imagine a day very soon that flying an NDB or VOR approach in the USA will be a thing of the past.
During my trips I prefer to takeoff, eat, sleep, fly, eat, sleep, fly ,and then land.
