Great video! Awesome unit! How does the AH get disabled for contests? What is the process? Does it require re-setting all the vario settings?

Sean,

There is a menu item to disable for xx Days. I don't think it requires resetting vario settings.

The instrument still needs to be approved by the SSA race committee for the disable.

Geeze :-)! Thanks Richard. Sounds reasonable from the instrument perspective. Enforcement still seems pretty darn lacking.
