50th type of Flight Recorder gains IGC-approval.
The Colibri II GNSS Flight Recorder manufactured LX Navigation
(www.lxnavigation.si) has gained IGC-approval with effect from 20 November 2011 for "all flights". For IGC-approval levels, see para 1.1.4 of Annex B to the Sporting Code for gliding. This brings the number of IGC-approved Flight Recorders to 50 types, from 19 different manufacturers. The IGC-approval document will be available on the FAI/IGC web page: http://www.fai.org/gnss-recording-de...ight-recorders This may not be for some time because the FAI/IGC web pages are being re-organised. Meanwhile the document is available from or from the GFAC Chairman at the email address below. IGC-approval follows test and evaluation by the IGC GNSS Flight Recorder Approval Committee (GFAC) in accordance with Annex B to the Sporting Code for gliding and the Technical Specification for IGC- approved GNSS Flight Recorders. The Technical Specification is available through the igc-approved-flight-recorders web site above and the Sporting Code for gliding through www.fai.org/igc-documents A PDF file with a table of all existing IGC-approval documents is on the igc-approved-flight-recorders web site above. Due to the re- organisation of the FAI web pages, this document is out-of-date but it is hoped that the latest version will be available shortly. This document contains: (1) a table of all types of IGC-approved Flight Recorders, in alphabetical order of manufacturer name (2) a table of Flight Recorder Manufacturers, in alphabetical order of manufacturer name (3) a list of all IGC-approval activity from 1996 to the present day (4) a history of IGC GNSS Flight Recording Finally, in view of the difficulties encountered this year with the FAI/IGC web site, to provide an independent source of data on IGC- approved Flight Recorders, a GFAC web site is being developed, probably to be based on the GFAC Chairman's internet provider. -- Ian Strachan Chairman, IGC GNSS Flight Recorder Approval Committee |

Does the Colibri II share the never-going-to-be-fixed firmware bug with the Colibri I, that deletes the electronic seal when garbled data is received on the data port? I broke three Colibris already, due to flaky cables and wrong baud rate. Max |
