Fred,

As others have posted, we approved FlyWithCE as a GPS Position Recorder last year. As others have also noted, the current IGC Sporting Code requires a traditional barograph be carried as well. As a result, there have been very few badge flights documented using this method (IIRC only one or two flights total).
