I spent a bit of time on the SSA website trying to find out if
"Position Recorders" (not an IGC Approved Flight Recorder) are allowed
for Silver badges. The info from 2010 seems to indicate that Position
Recorders are not allowed for Silver badges, unless someone has in
addition a barograph. Did I read this correctly? Is this likely to
change in the future or do I need to order an IGC approved FR from
Santa?

Second question - Would and Out & Return of 60km qualify for a Silver
badge? Can't seem to find a clarification on the SSA website (beside
the definition of Silver = 50+km).

Thanks,

The 60km (30 out 30 back) will not qualify as others have stated.

Certain position only recorders may be used for the silver badge, but
you must also have a recording barograph.

Find an experienced mentor in the flying group or club. Some clubs are
now maintaining an approved data logger for club pilots to borrow.
Some club member may have a portable logger you can use.

The SSA web site has a list of approved position only loggers, they
also have a Silver Badge two page guide.
