The igc file

Dale,

Congrats from this side of the pond on a great flight!

If this was a Cambridge 10/20/25 recorder, there will also be a binary
CAI file for the flight. As you will be making claims for the flight,
it is important that this file is kept and not binned. If you have
not got it and the flight is still in the recorder, download it again
and make sure that you get the CAI binary. The reason is that the old
Cambridge system only allowed electronic validation of the flight data
with the binary file, not the ASCII format IGC file.

This is worth noting by all owners of legacy Cambridge recorders. It
does not apply to the later Cambridge 300 series or recorders by other
manufacturers, where electronic validation of the integrity of the
flight data is through the IGC file.

It's all in the IGC-approval documents for each of the 34 types of
recorders now IGC-approved. If you fly with a recorder it might be
worth your while to download and read the IGC-approval document for
that recorder, you might find something useful that you didn't know!
Look at the IGC GNSS web pages. End of "commercial" !

Once again, what a marvellous flight! I'm envious, only flew a
couple of hundred k yesterday!
