I did a 200 km flight today (my personal best) that I wanted to post to
the OLC. The OLC site refuses to accept the trace, stating that "the
maximum timegap between two valid fixes is too large. (2166 sec 900
sec)". I am instructed to correct the error, and then click 'check
entry'. Obviously, any such a "correction" will cause the flight to
fail a security check.

That's a common misconception. The .igc files from the GPS-NAV models
have absolutely no security in them at all. Editing the file, then
repackaging it with the .cai file might be possible, but messy.



Yet without the correction, I can't post the
flight at all. Catch 22...

The flight was recorded using a Cambridge GPS-NAV Model 25. I'm told
that sometimes a bad time value is inserted into the data file with
this recorder. What galls me is that SeeYou has no problem presenting
the flight trace, but the OLC software can't!

Does anyone have any suggestions? Probably it's too late to do
anything, since the Tuesday midnight deadline is almost here (another
Catch 22).


Do the start and end of soaring flight times look correct? It's possible
the problem is before or after the actual flight. Sometimes you have to
adjust those manually to deal with noise during landing or whatever.
