I received an email stating that my diamond goal flight has been
rejected due to a typo on my igc declaration. *Despite the fact that
the security was good, all turnpoints rounded ok, and everything else
good, it's still rejected.

On the IGC declaration where it says "registered ID" *I typed in "SA"
because that is my paid-for registered contest ID. *Apparently I
should have typed in "N-2429". *So because of this, the flight doesn't
count.

I was also informed that on page 53 of the March 2010 Soaring
magazine, it says (in 8 point font) that you can no longer use your
register contest ID. *This really doesn't make a whole lot of sense to
me. *The glider type is in question, not the security, date or name
even though it's not a handicapped claim! *I only own one aircraft,
which can be easily verified through the FAA aircraft registry.

So now I am merely trying to figure out the best way to solve this
claim.

Does anyone have any suggestions of who I might contact to help get
this claim to pass? *I would really like to say I did a diamond flight
but unfortunately because of this new rule, I can't say I did a
diamond flight.

oh - and you DID do a Diamond Flight!! *There is a difference between
a badge flight and a badge performance. *the performance part means
you managed to successfully jump through all of the paperwork hoops.- Hide quoted text -

Congrats on the flight Scott, regardless of the typo!
This subject came up a while back (3-4 months ago??) Your post
prompted me to look at one of my .igc files. I see that I have:
HFGIDGLIDERID:16UF
I don't recall how many characters are allowed, but I'm going to try
making it:
HFGIDGLIDERID:N16UF
just to be safe!
Again, awesome flight!
