Hi,

He's not talking about a 302, it's a 302A which is a GPS flight recorder
only. There is no need to enter polar data as there is no speed to fly
director.

I use a 302A in club ships often.

I use my PDA to enter the pilot name and glider ID.

Thanks, John

Horrible choice. I'm flying with 302 for a number of years and
love it. But if I had to do swapping between two or more gliders, well,
my preference would be a.... Barograph.
The entry of the pilot name would be the least of my worry. The
conections of electrical systems and all pneumatics will have to be
unified in all concern gliders. My suggestion would be to colour code
all conections in all used gliders in the uniform way (like the
conections in my computer). Also remember to change 302's polar file
for different gliders.
Good lack, Richard K.

Hi,

Yes, the 302A will power a PDA with 5V (plenty for even an iPAQ hx4700) and
it provides pressure altitude and GPS position to the PDA. It does not
provide wind or vario data (as the 302 can).

Good Soaring,
