Default OLC Submissions and Cambridge 302

Use the 302 utility program available from CAI to download to the PDA:

The utility program reports validation, so am not sure about whether
following up with valicam is still needed.


I've never had an IGC file that validates when downloaded using the
Cambridge PDA utility, that later fails to validate with valicam2. The
paranoid (like myself), will always later verify a file using valicam2,
if they want to be certain of proper flight documentation for
badge/record (or for that matter, OLC) purposes.

The one thing you absolutely do not want to do, is download from a 302
(or other approved flight recorders) using, for (a not quite random)
example, SeeYou, and send the resulting IGC file off without verifying it...
