Default Barographs?

Of course, you will have to bungee launch off a hill in a primary

In otherwords, why bother? *We pay a lot of tax money to support the
GPS system, get some use out of it!

And be sure to check the SSA site for the recording requirements for
badge flights - barographs are only valid for badge altitude or time
claims, or badge distance without turnpoints.

Probably a lot easier to ask around and borrow a proper GPS logger -
you will definitely make the badge lady happier, and get to relive the
flight via SeeYou afterwards - and let us enjoy it on OLC!

Kirk,

I've got a loaner Cambridge 25 in the Cherokee which I really love.
But Leah's cherokee has no such device and there are a few guys in the
club who are barograph free not to mention the club itself only has 1
barograph but 3 gliders. I just like the idea of having a few
barographs around in case one of my students or friends are going
flying on a day where a badge leg or state record could be claimed.
