I guess you don't test the VOR/LOC during your preflight? That's why that's done.
The rest of this -200 stuff though...

I've always wondered about this practice. Has it ever failed in an NG? How many people are actually observing the test, and how many are just going through the motions if they do it at all.
And aren't VOR tests only required by FAR every 30 days?

I do the test just like I do the TCAS test.
30 days per FAA, yes. Apparently it's a new procedure to make a write up in the logbook that a dual VOR test has been done if one wasn't done within the last 30 days.

Any other "-200" SOPs that are cool to just ignore?
