Glen is right.  I fly my coupe in the LA/San Diego class Bs with no VORs onboard.

I read a post last night that said a VOR receiver was required for flight into class B airspace.  According to my research, that is only true for IFR flight into class B.  For VFR flight into class B, all required is a radio for communication and a transponder (see below).  If I am wrong, please advise.

 

Thanks

According to FAR 91.131:

----

(c) Communications and navigation equipment requirements. Unless

otherwise authorized by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft within a

Class B airspace area unless that aircraft is equipped with--

(1) For IFR operation. An operable VOR or TACAN receiver; and

(2) For all operations. An operable two-way radio capable of

communications with ATC on appropriate frequencies for that Class B

airspace area.

(d) Transponder requirements. No person may operate an aircraft in a

Class B airspace area unless the aircraft is equipped with the

applicable operating transponder and automatic altitude reporting

equipment specified in paragraph (a) of Sec. 91.215, except as provided

in paragraph (d) of that section.

----

 

The above is an extraction from the FAR.

 

Based on the above, VFR operations in Class B airspace only require an operable 2 way radio capable of operation on appropriate frequencies and a transponder as indicated above.
