HELP

I find the IGC site terrible to navigate -

Complain to the webmaster. I also do not find a lot of web sites easy
to navigate.

Where do
I find a simple explanation/list of recorders and their
classification into suitable for World records, etc.

The qualifications in any IGC-approval are in the approval document
itself, all of which documents are at the end of:

http://www.fai.org/gliding/gnss/igc_approved_frs.pdf

It is true that there is not yet a list of recorders at the three
approval levels. There probably will be in the future, IGC officials are
working in their own time and these things take time, I am afraid. The
current situation is:

All 24 IGC-approved recorders are at the "all flights" level except:

1. Badge flights up to and including Diamonds level: the EW series.

2. All IGC badge and distance diploma flights:

2.1 Now: Scheffel Themi

2.2 From 1 April 2004:
Cambridge 10, 20 and 25
Filser LX20 first batch (no RSA, no micro)
Peschges VP8
Print Technik GR1000
possibly the Zander GP940 (under consideration at the moment)

I hope this helps.
