I am pleased to announce IGC-approval for the LX Navigation LX Eos GNSS Flight Recorder for "all flights" including world records. This is a smaller version of the LX9000 and has similar characteristics.
The IGC-approval document may be downloaded from the FAI/IGC web site or the GFAC web site, see below. A table of all IGC-approved Flight Recorders can also be downloaded, with links to individual IGC-approval documents for each type of Recorder.
There are now 50 different types of IGC-approved Flight Recorders from 18 different manufacturers.
If you own or fly with one of these, it is recommended that you download its latest IGC-approval document from one of the web sites given below, and to note any changes that may affect the way that you operate it.
The GFAC web site is : www.ukiws.demon.co.uk/GFAC
The table of all IGC-approved FRs with links to Approval Documents is at:
www.ukiws.demon.co.uk/GFAC/igc_approved_frs.pdf
The document with the tables contains:
(1) a table of all types of IGC-approved Flight Recorders in alphabetical order of manufacturer name, with links to their IGC-approval documents.
(2) a table of Manufacturers of IGC-approved Flight Recorders, 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.
