Testing the localizer function of your VOR indicator?

[Flysher]

Does anyone know where it officially says that a VOR check doesnt actually test the LOC function of a VOR indicator?

I learned this in company training but to this day the only source I can get is from a mechanic, but you would think something like this would be in a book somewhere.

thanks

i could paraphrase for you, but its late and ive been...well, lest just say that i cant fly for at least 8 hours (24 is my rule though...lol)

it doesnt say specificaly, but it does diferentiate the VOR and LOC (kinda)

I've never come across anywhere that is really written. However, the VOR check does check the accuracy of the VOR receiver and I suppose the operation of the VOR/LOC needle and to/from flags. That's about it. Don't see how that really proves your LOC is working okay. Best way to do that is to taxi down a runway with an ILS and see if the LOC is on the centerline.
