FLARM IGC files: erasable?

[[email protected][_2_]]

I would like to use my FLARM IGC file for contests.

To help the scorer, it would be nice to present a USB stick with only that day's contest file. But how can one delete all the other flight logs that end up on the USB stick, too?

If your scorer is using Winscore, he shouldn't care, It will select the correct file based on the file name.

It has been a few years since I scored so there is a chance this has changed.

this must still be the case, as for the contests i've flown i've just handed the scorer my Nano, which has the whole seasons worth of flights on it.

From the updated Powerflarm manual:

CORE has internal memory for around 100 hours of flight recording at a 4s interval. Flight recording automatically starts when the aircraft starts moving and ends when the CORE is switched OFF or after more than 10 minutes of standstill. When the memory is full, the oldest flights are overwritten first.


Regarding the USB stick, the guys above are correct. The scorer shouldn't have issues if you have a valid .igc file for your contest day on the stick. They will find the correct file. Personally, I use a clean stick at the start of a contest and don't bother erasing anything until after the contest.

Loaded the latest upgrade for my portable Flarm yesterday. Uploaded file to OLC and was pleased to see 2 green scoring icons.
