It may be copied into the flight log, but I doubt the declaration time
is changed to the current time. The time of the declaration should be
the time at which you pressed "save" when originally making it.

If you then make several flights, all will have this same declaration
time.

Tom,

Have you verified that with your Volkslogger? Every .igc file from
mine has the first "C record", where the declaration date is supposed
to be, the same date and time as the first "B record", the fix data.
(see TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
FOR IGC-APPROVED GNSS FLIGHT RECORDERS somewhere on the FAI website)

Just to make sure I am interpreting my IGC files correctly, I looked
in the Volkslogger manual (2/21/2000), p. 24. "During the turn-on of
the instrument, the recording of a new IGC-file commmences
immediately. At this time the data, which are still in the declaration
form, are copied automatically into the corresponding places of the
IGC-files. The "automatic" declaration is, like any other declaration,
coded with the date and time of the turn-on."

In essence, one is declaring when one turns on the Volkslogger.

Regards,
John

PS Volkslogger (and other?) flight recorder owners need to be aware
that the Volkslogger will automatically declare the most recently
stored declaration before each following flight, when power is turned
on. If you declare on paper, then climb in the glider and take off,
the last valid declaration will be in the flight recorder. You need to
declare on paper, after you power up the Volkslogger.
