Default Any Badge Claims Using GPS Position Recorder plus Barograph?

Although since the BGA only approved two Position Recorders in towards the
end of the season, and it takes a while for word to get around, hardly
surprising.

It may add a bit of value to an old barograph in the back of a club
cupboard, and find a use as legacy EWs cease to work.

New IGC Recorder (calling them loggers will have Ian S. up in arms) = at
least £400.

Position Recorder + second hand barograph = maybe £200. And you know how
generous early club pilots are with cash.

I wish the pilots luck relearning all the things that can go wrong with a
barograph...........

I didn't get any claims with cameras and barographs for the last 6
years or so and most new cross country pilots seem to buy second hand
loggers (mostly EWs) from people who are upgrading to flarms,etc. The
GPS position recorder only makes sense if you already have an old
style barograph.
