IMPORTANT- Seeyou V's Strepla and airspace violations.
Marc you TOLD me that you had reviewed please pass along the file or
other data that supports your claim.
Enough hearsay as there is obviously a software error here on either
Seeyou or Strepla.
Lastly is a 100ft or 1000ft violation any different. it is still an
incursion either way you look at it.
I would be curious to here that form contest scorers.
I remember a case a while back a pilot was allowed a turnpoint in a
contest even though the GPS point was not in the turn zone. It was
later protested out and his flight devalued.
Thanks
Al

Anal nit-picking has now become the most important aspect of soaring,
apparently, thanks to the SSA-OLC collaboration...
I have Strepla which shows minor airspace and altitude violations which
Seeyou does not.
FYI. Ramy's Logger Calibration report shows a +169ft error at 18000ft.
Strepla is clearly wrong on the altitude, as I told you privately, I
carefully extracted all of the pressure altitude data from the IGC file,
and there wasn't a single fix that exceeded 18,000 feet, once corrected
for the *landing* altitude and calibration error. I invite you to do
the same.
The airspace problem is more complicated, we're talking a hundred or so
feet either side of the boundary. Given that there are not two, but
actually three pieces of software involved (SeeYou, Strepla, and
WinPilot), minor calculation errors in any of them could put one on
either side of the boundary. I have no desire to put any energy into
figuring out how the fixes in the IGC file relate to the published
airspace boundary, but perhaps someone else does.
If this exercise highlights a bug in Strepla I owe Ramy an apology.
I believe you owe Ramy an apology in any case, it is ridiculous to be
wasting time on violations that don't amount to much more than 100 feet,
at worst.
