300 Km Flights (Was Failed Instruments) by Ray Lovinggood
Bill Daniels mentioned the cost of failed 300 km flights due to instrument failure. Well, I've flown our 'standard' 300 km route about 5 times now and I hope the fifth try 'brings home the trophy'. But if The Badge Lady isn't satisfied with my flight log or paperwork or whatever, I'll have a good...

300lb (130kg) pilot by [email protected]
Hello everybody, I'm a instrument rated private pilot with 120 hours TT, all single engine piston A/C. I've been meaning to get a glider rating for a long time, mainly because I want to learn soaring and possibly do some light aerobatics on the cheap. However I've been steered away several times...

302 5V out by T8
Does anyone know whether the 302 uses an (efficient) switch mode DC converter, or just a plain old regulator (doubles as a toaster)? I'm idly wondering if it's worth my while to wire in a separate switch mode power supply for the PDA -- you can get good quality DC/DC converters that run with 90%...

302 audio by Mark
Curious if the fine folks at Cambridge have ever thought about what it would take software wise to give the user the option to select from a variety of vario climb/sink/cruise tones. I'm not suggesting a radical departure in the indication of the tone (increasing beeping for climb), but the...

302 Issues, Probably self Inflicted... Experts? by Linwood Stevenson
Hi All, Previous flight last week my 302 abruptly quite recording mid flight, a fact I wasn't aware of until after landing and viewing the downloaded .igc file. Was a good 400k+ flight too, but thats beside the point.... Anyway, checked out the log file and it appeared to be full, so I assumed...

302 log download by Andy Durbin

302 not receiving GPS satellites by Stephen[_3_]
Hello, if you have or used to have a 302, did it ever quit receiving GPS satellites? My 302 will not receive and does not display any satellite bars on the home screen. I have tried a different antenna and still no joy. I'm thinking it is a send to the factory problem. Does anyone have comments or...

302 problem with 'B' record error? by [email protected]
My 302 worked last year, but for the first flights this year has a problem with OLC. Nothing was touched on the instrument in the meantime. OLC reports that the 'b' records in the log are inconsistent and are described as having spikes. The OLC help team kindly restored one of the two logs I have...

302 Repair by MNLou
I wanted to let the group know that ClearNav is up and running repairing Cambridge 302s. From the time I mailed off the unit until the time it was returned -repaired and re-calibrated - was less than 2 weeks. Pretty impressive turnaround. A big thank you to Gary Kammerer and Jeff Bennett at...

302 security fail by Alan Garside
Question, it seems you don't know before a flight if you will get a security fail on downloading the flight. If after a flight you do get a security fail but the seal is good would it invalidate a badge flight.

302 security failures by T8
Anyone else got one, lately? And yes, I do have the flash memory upgrade. Have flown the ship about a hundred hours since the upgrade, this is the first such problem (yesterday). Didn't think to check to see if the memory just 'rolled over', but it is probably close, IIRC 302 holds right around...

302 strangness... by [email protected]
Last time out (first time in 3 years for the 302 to be used) the 302 was massively over reading double / triple the actual lift/sink. The Beepy thing beeped at the right times but it was readying 20knots on the averager while climbing at 8knots actual on the Sage. Turning to the altimeter and ASI...

302 vs clearnav vario with XCSoar by Ramy[_2_]
I am considering replacing my 302 with clearnav vario. My questions: 1 - I am aware clearnav is not a supported option for XCSoar, but giving that they suppose to implement the same 302 protocol, will it work the same as 302 when using the XCSoar 302 driver? In particular I am interested in the 302...

302 wind calculation by AK
Does anyone have any inside into how a 302 calculates wind? How good is it in regards to wind a straight flight with very little turning? How valuable is it on a ridge? What does it need in order to calculate probable wind one 360 turn, part of a turn, two turns? Any information is appreciated.
