[email protected]
I liked the subtle ticking noise of ye olde RICO VACS vario I had in the HP-14. And it was very good at pointing out weak lift. Alas that relic from the 1970s stopped working some time circa 2000. I sent it to its maker and he fixed it, but it later failed again, as has another unit I scrounged...

"N" on Constant Pressure Charts by
Jim[_33_]
I have spent a few days on Google looking for a description of what "N" means on Constant Pressure Charts.
The best I have found is that "N" identifies an area of little or no vorticity. Is this right?

More GPS date failures possible by
kinsell
April 2019 may bring more grief with date failures, although some
failures may get delayed well after that date, depending on what's in
the firmware.
