I would have thought the 302 was the worst choice of
FR for swapping between gliders as it's panel mounted.

Our club has recently purchased an electronic flight
recorder
(Cambridge 302) to be used by the membership in the
various club ships.
This is to replace the barograph which seems to be
continuously out of
certification, out of paper, not any good for tasks,
etc, etc.

The question has arisen about the pilot and ship information
that
should be stored in the flight recorder. I know that
if each pilot
enter his name and ship info before each flight, that
the SSA Badge
committee will be happy. However this is tedious (connect
to a
computer or PDA) and prone to error. Nothing would
be worse than
setting a record only to find that the log is in someone
else's name.
Of course this would be no one's fault but the PIC
but the situation is
definately something to avoid if possible.

What I would like to do is enter generic information
into the flight
recorder and let the observer certify that this particular
pilot flew
this flight. The generic information would be 'Club
Name Pilots' and
'Club Name Fleet'. I feel that this is similar to
the club use of a
barograph. It is also similar to a private ship owned
by a
parternership. Maybe leaving the info blank is the
best approach.

I have placed a request with the SSA to see if my 'generic
info' idea
is a good course of action. No response to date.
What are your
thoughts? What does your club do?

Thanks, John
