Default Implausible Time Records

Dan,

Open your file with a text editor and search for "B190338"
This will put you in the right area.
In each record, after the letter B, the next six bytes are the time.

After B190339 the time jumps back to B190337, which is odd, and leads to
there being two records with a time of 190338, and also 190339.

Odd, but I have seen this before. Maybe you can avoid it in future by
setting a longer fix interval, even 2 seconds might help, but no promises.

I am not seeing any GPS outage around that time. This would be shown by the
Letter "A" in the 25th byte changing to a "V".

Although it does not help a lot, the sequence error seems to happen as you
left the ground, so I guess you were not reversing turns?

I'm not saying this is what OLC are complaining about, just that it is odd
and it might be.

Tim.

thermalling during a GPS outage and getting one or two hits and then
another drop out, etc.?

Here's a link to the file if that helps:

Noticed it was from the vario. I'll use a vario file today and see...

Looking at the file, there is an out-of-sequence issue:

Checking File C:\Users\Public\Documents\GPS\2019-05-04-CNI-V8Q-01.IGC

B1903383458936N10600057WA0185301878001999119119122 000

Could this be the issue?
