IGC-approval levels for some types of Flight Recorders
IGC FLIGHT RECORDER APPROVAL LEVELS
A decision was made on 5 March by the IGC Plenary meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, that will affect the Cambridge models 10, 20 & 25, Print Technik GR1000 series and the Zander 940 types of GPS Flight Recorder. The annual Plenary meeting is the highest decision-taking body within the IGC structure. This was the final stage in the process of reviewing World Record (WR) procedures that was carried out by a working group led by the IGC Bureau during 2004. A discussion was held on electronic security systems for flight recorders that may be used for WR flight evidence. It was decided by a two thirds majority vote that flight recorders not having public/private key systems such as RSA or equivalent as part of the system by which manufacturer's Validation program files are available through the IGC GNSS web pages, will not be permitted for WR evidence. In accordance with Annex B of the Sporting Code for Gliding (SC3B), para 1.1.4.2, this will take effect on 15 March 2006 and over-rides any "Grandfather Rights" for the recorders concerned. The manufacturers have already been notified and the period of a year allows them to consider the possibility of an upgrade for these recorder models. Otherwise, the new IGC-approval level for these recorder models will be at the "all IGC/FAI badge and diplomas" level (SC3B para 1.1.3.3.2) with effect from 15 March 2006. Finally, please note that this decision does not affect the use of such recorders in gliding competitions (SC3B para 1.1.3.3.6 refers).
