The OLC 48-hour rule is fine if you complete a closed task and get
home that evening. It's ridiculous for flights like this. Unless you
have a backup logger and means to upload from a hotel on the road,
the IGC file must wait until the OO in Minden gets the logger after a
total drive of over 3000km. As OLC is based in Europe, using European
commercial driving standards would require three and a half days of
driving. Jim

My glider isn't flown for records, and even it has 3 IGC loggers in it!
A 302 Vario, ClearNav flight computer, and Flarm. Surely, they had
several loggers, one of which could've been used for the OLC. There are
lots of motels with computers in the lobby, so using one of those for 5
minutes would do the trick, even if they didn't have a tablet or
laptop/netbook with them.

I'm guessing there is some other reason.
