I don't see any reference to a CAI file not do I think the 302 can

Right, it's not in the docs, anywhere. But it can, and it will.

I've never heard of this claim before, and if it's not in the approval
document, you can't use it, anyway.
The fact that the binary download is blazingly fast compared to the
typical igc d/l causes me to wonder if the 302 uses the old cai format
internally and the igc file creation is done 'on the fly' during
download.

Nope, the 302 uses a different, more secure algorithm than the old Model
20, etc, and that is why it has the highest level of IGC approval (all
flights), and the Model 10, 20, and 25 do not (badges only).

I thought the binary download is a raw memory dump, not a CAI,
suitable for debugging and nothing else.

Don't know for sure as it's undocumented. Only reason I was fooling
around with this was trying all available options to recover a flight
log with a security problem. It gave me a file with a .cai
extension. I don't recall now if I did anything with the file past
that point, or not. If they were using the same extension for two
different file types, well, I really don't have anything very nice to
say about that.

figure out how to get this flight off of my 302 in CAI. PS: i have SEE-

on every flight I download. Thanks.

hey bob, what state record did you beat?

I suggest you talk with Paul Remde at Cumulus Soaring.
