I received a Butterfly external display with my US PowerFLARM core (brick). I also ordered a PowerFLARM Portable so have been able to compare the two. The alerter volume of my Butterfly external display is much lower than the alerter volume on my portable, even when the Butterfly is a maximum and...

I purchased this unit, serial 001287, together with a PowerFLARM Core and external display, from Craggy Aero as part of an Arizona Soaring Association group purchase. The unit was received August 2012. After comparing the two systems I have decided to continue to use my Zaon PCAS in my airplane...

Power FLARM battery temperature by Andy[_1_]
I am using NiMh rechargable cells in my PowerFLARM portable. Yesterday, while charging, I noticed that the base of the case was hot and I disconnected the unit immediately. When I opened the battery compartment I found all cells were hot to the touch and that each was about the same...

PowerFLARM 3.0 and TIS by Andy[_1_]
I had previously run some quick tests feeding PowerFLARM "TIS" data to my Garmin 396. I didn't continue the evaluation because, without any indication of mode C/S targets, it wasn't going to replace my Zaon MRX. Today I ran a ground evaluation of the new non-direction target indication provided...

Tail dolly hazard by Andy[_1_]
The July issue of SSA Soaring magazine has a cover photo that shows at least 3 unattended gliders with the tail dolly left on. In Arizona you'd get an earfull for doing this as it puts any other glider within half a wing span at risk. Maybe it doesn't matter at soaring sites where there are no...

IGC file viewer (no GPS) by Andy[_1_]
Does anyone know of a Windows based IGC file viewer that will properly display the barograph (altitude) data when the GPS position data is all zero? The file was recorded using an ancient EW barograph that has been converted to receive GPS data but had no GPS connected. The raw EW data file data...

Control checks! by Andy[_1_]
It appears that a life could have been saved had basic controls checks been performed - "Controls free and in the correct sense". A walk round wag of the ailerons with verifcation the other one moved, or a positive control check after assembling, would also have helped. As a flight instructor I...

SPOT survey by Andy[_1_]
SPOT has launched a marketing survey. There are lots of tedious questions but there is the opportunity to say what features you would llike to change. There was just enough room to ask for tracking reports every 5 minutes including altitude. Maybe if enough of us ask they will...

OLC, ENL, Start of soaring flight by Andy[_1_]
I'd like to hear from people who submit logs to OLC using a recorder that has no ENL (Engine Noise Level) capability and produces a log with no ENL data. Does OLC automatically determine the start of soaring flight, or do you always have to set it manually? If OLC does it automatically, how often...

Region 9 day 1 Std Class by Andy[_1_]
On a day when all but one competitor did not attempt the task, apparently due to thunderstorms, one competitor completes it and takes 1000 points. The contest is pretty much over. Are we rewarding the right behavior? Why wasn't the day devalued? Comments invited especially from the Std class...
