Recorder certifications |
|
| IGC Position Recorder |
| International Gliding Commission (IGC)
introduced new class of recorders - position recorders. Pilots can use
flights recorded with those devices together with altitude recorder
(barogram for instance) to claim silver and gold badges. Each position
recorder has to be approved by national committee. Check official
FAI Position Recorder web page. |
|
| IGC Position Recorder certificate is issued
by national gliding committee and for specific device. Because of that
the certification is not worldwide. flyWithCE will also have to reapply
for certificates for new flyWithCE Flight Recorder FR300 device. |
|
| In year 2012 it is expected that the
rules for position recorders will be changed and GPS altitude will be
accepted for silver and gold badges. This will eliminate requirement to
carry barogram. More will be known when new specifications will be
revealed. |
|
| Competitions |
| In some countries flyWithCE Flight Recorder
can be used for competitions. |

| To keep the cost low consumer GPS logging
device was used. In cooperation with device manufacturer the devices
firmware was updated so that it would fit best glider pilot
requirements. On the other hand consumer device has some limitations.
Device is not IGC certified as
flight recorder and does not have engine sensor or pressure altitude sensor.
Because of that flights recorded with this device could not be used for
claiming national/world records or diamond badge. |
