As part of Annex A group I would recommand that only loggers approved
for world records be accepted for world championships. But it is not the
case today.

I did not find anywhere in SC3A and mention of Recorder Categories, and
prior to this announcement, there were two categories one for 'Badges up
to Diamond' and another for full approval.

It would seem to me that as any recorder could be used up to now, Ian's
announcement does not effect SC3A, as it simply divided previously
accepted recorders into two subdivisions.

I think I must disagree with Denis about "only loggers approved for
world records be accepted for world championships".

In any competition it is far more difficult to falsify a recording
because:

1. The task is not known until a relatively short time before take-
off.

2. The Start-Line Open time will not be known in advance of take-
off

3. The recorder must be handed in within a relatively short time
from landing.

4. The falsified record would need show the correct time for
Takeoff, Finishing and Landing.

These checks, especially the combination of 3 and 4, will give an added
level of security, so that a lower level of FR security should be
accepted.
