I think similar items are considered more a backup for emergency use rather than the only equipment, but hey, the FCC approves them in the transceiver sense, and even the big boys often carry one as a last ditch comm means. Not sure about the VOR aspect though, but likely that also would be considered as a secondary means of navigation, not the only means. If you only fly VFR and your handheld fuctioned adequately to communicate with whoever you desire, I doubt that anyone would be concerned. How is a tower or anyone else to know, if you are on frequency and the signal is strong enough?
