OLC posting of EW Model D files

OLC does not "compute" anything. It just confirms the G record is
correct by using whatever VALI-xxxx program is appropriate for the
file uploaded.

If, as you say, there is no VALI-xxxx program available for *you* to
run against the downloaded file, then OLC does not have one either.

The basic process is as follows:

1. IGC file is downloaded from the FR to your computer.
2. You should ensure it is valid and secure (VALI-xxxx)
3. The file is uploaded to OLC
4. OLC uses a VALI-xxxx program to validate the uploaded file

If you were to download the IGC file from OLC, it should be
*identical* to the one you uploaded. If even one byte is different,
then there is a problem with file upload to OLC.

So there is no "direct from FR to OLC" method of submission and
validation. Even if some software is hiding the process, at least
steps 1, 3, and 4 take place.

I hope this helps clarify the process so you can better analyze what
is happening.

Check that the Garmin that feeds your EWD is set to WGS84. If it
isn't then all records will be marked as invalid. I would imagine
this makes it fail the security check.

In addition to the OLC-2007 failures I have been experience with files
transferred to my laptop using SeeYou, I am having the same problem using
the IGC approved EW Windows Uploader.

Has anyone had success making an OLC-2007 flight claim of a flight recorded
on an EW Model D? If so, send me an email describing the process you are
using.

I have emailed describing my problems and am waiting
for their reply.

Thank you,

But seriously Wayne,
Try again (including transferring files from the logger). And again
until it works. Something may have got corrupted in between. Took me
11 tries with WinPilot and 302 files last night and this morning, but
it may have worked.

So what you are telling me is that I need to download the file from my
recorder then make an OLC declariation. If it doesn't pass verification,
delete it and then repeat the process until it passes. Is that correct?

Basil,

EW Avionics has a copy of the problematic file. On initial evaluation they
have not been able to determine why it isn't passing their validation
software.

I have borrowed a friends EW Model D. Files transferred using EW Windows
Uploader, SeeYou and ConnectMe pass the EW IGCshell validation utility.

My Garmin 12xl is set to WGS 84.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Our club has an EW Model D. This weekend I downloaded 2 flights from it
using SeeYou v3.65. The first flight was submitted to the OLC and
validated.
The second flight did not validate due to an "L" record inserted by SeeYou
being longer than 76 characters.

Today I installed SeeYou v3.71 on the same computer and re-downloaded the
2nd flight. This time the log appears to be fine and without the unusual
"L" record.
