Pre-takeoff checklist
Can I use a published airborne VOR receiver checkpoint on the ground to satisfy the 91.171 requirement? There is a checkpoint around here that is published as 1200 msl over the intersecting runways at an airport. Could I just taxi out to that intersection and note the accuracy of the receiver from there?
My first reaction would be NO, from reading the excerpt below, but I had a CFI tell me I could . . .

________(3) If neither a test signal nor a designated checkpoint on the surface is available, use an airborne checkpoint designated by the Administrator or, outside the United States, by an appropriate authority (the maximum permissible bearing error is plus or minus 6 degrees); or
