New Butterfly Vario

There are no provisions for this in Winscore . The RC position on these devices is that they are not permissible under the long established rules philosophy and they will not be allowed to be used, The RC is working with Butterfly to determine how best to remove this feature during competition while not adding to the work load of the scorer and other contest workers. This has not yet been determined. I will provide more information on this as it becomes available. UH RC Chair Hank, what is the RC position on PDA/PNA software such as LK8000, which has a functioning "turn-coordinator" page? Sure it says not to use it for instrument flight, but it sure looks like it could be used for a little cloud busting -or for getting down through a surprise cloud layer, which is actually a nice feature and why it is included, I'm sure. Ditto some of the Garmin hand-held GPSs, which have a GPS-derived "panel". Of course, these are not gyro instruments, so cannot be legally used for instrument flying, of course... Kirk 66 |
