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 To get the OLC points, you can log with a non-IGC logger that the OLC will accept (XCSoar, GlidePath, etc.). For a flight like theirs, you probably want to leave any IGC legal backup logger alone in case there was an issue with the primary. -AM
