[discussing OLC contests] the use of an approved FR allows one to
be completely
free of paperwork and OO's. In most European countries, this freedom
has done much more for the generalization of cross-country flying than
the badge system itself.

Many thanks for the above.

In the formulation of rules and procedures for IGC-approved GNSS Flight
Recorders, that is exactly what we have tried to achieve since the IGC
GFA Committee (GFAC) was set up in March 1995.
