The Colibri II GNSS Flight Recorder manufactured LX Navigation
(www.lxnavigation.si) has gained IGC-approval with effect from 20
November 2011 for "all flights". For IGC-approval levels, see para
1.1.4 of Annex B to the Sporting Code for gliding.
This brings the number of IGC-approved Flight Recorders to 50 types,
from 19 different manufacturers.
The IGC-approval document will be available on the FAI/IGC web page:
www.fai.org/gnss-recording-devices/igc-approved-flight-recorders
This may not be for some time because the FAI/IGC web pages are being
re-organised. Meanwhile the document is available from
or from the GFAC Chairman at the email address
below.
IGC-approval follows test and evaluation by the IGC GNSS Flight
Recorder Approval Committee (GFAC) in accordance with Annex B to the
Sporting Code for gliding and the Technical Specification for IGC-
approved GNSS Flight Recorders. The Technical Specification is
available through the igc-approved-flight-recorders web site above and
the Sporting Code for gliding through www.fai.org/igc-documents
A PDF file with a table of all existing IGC-approval documents is on
the igc-approved-flight-recorders web site above. Due to the re-
organisation of the FAI web pages, this document is out-of-date but it
is hoped that the latest version will be available shortly. This
document contains:
(1) a table of all types of IGC-approved Flight Recorders, in
alphabetical order of manufacturer name
(2) a table of Flight Recorder Manufacturers, in alphabetical order of
manufacturer name
(3) a list of all IGC-approval activity from 1996 to the present day
(4) a history of IGC GNSS Flight Recording
Finally, in view of the difficulties encountered this year with the
FAI/IGC web site, to provide an independent source of data on IGC-
approved Flight Recorders, a GFAC web site is being developed,
probably to be based on the GFAC Chairman's internet provider.
