The approval process has been initiated, but we need to finish and test ENL and a 'good' encryption for the certified G records.
As communicated from the start, are applying for a 'up to and including diamonds' approval (same as for 'Classic FLARM'), not 'all flights' as that would have serious implications on cost, both for manufacturing and maintenance.

Current US PowerFLARM hardware will be upgradeable for free and with no change in hardware if (if !) everything goes as planned.
No firm date on completion, obviously, but it is our #1 focus at this time.

If you have missed the news, IGC format recording, including G record, is available since over a month and seems to work very well.

And yes, someone should buy Marc, Tim and other GFAC members flowers and chocolate, but it shouldn't be us, obviously...
You could ask them for their mailing address, then use http://www.ftd.com/, worldwide.
