The OLC's support to GPS-Nav/Cambridge 10/20/25 will cease on Dezember
31st
The validation procedure of GPS-Nav/Cambridge 10/20/25 is out of date
since a long time and administring it further is not sustainable. In
efforts to find a solution with representatives from the manufacturer
we could not come to a feasible conclusion. Therefore participation at
the OLC with GPS-Nav/Cambridge 10/20/25 will be only possible until
the end of 2011.

It will be interesting to see how much of a drop we'll see in US OLC
participation next year.
We appologize for any inconvenience and hope for your understanding ...

I think the reason there hasn’t been any chatter may be because nobody
saw the announcement. * Thanks for bringing it to our attention,
Tony! * Unfortunately, it probably will result in a small drop in OLC
participation. * I say “small drop” because I know many pilots with
older Cambridge flight recorders have been struggling for some time to
get flights validated often with no success. * However, I do
understand OLC’s position on this. * They are a volunteer organization
and probably have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to sort
out these problems. * Furthermore there are now lots of flight
recorders (I heard 50 altogether) whose igc files are accepted by
OLC. * Prices start at $140. * * Don’t forget other devices such as
PowerFLARM, Oudie, even certain iPhones can produce flight records
acceptable to OLC.

How nice of them to decide not to support the logger that started it
all. Wonder if all this really means is their latest conversion
program was set up as a one year solution, and you will still be able
to upload (although sometimes it takes several tries) a converted file
that is properly named?

Feel like I have come up to the Blazing Saddles Toll booth. Anybody
got any dimes? I got me a whole ****-load of Cambridge Loggers, but I
ain't got no dimes!
