Default Update on CAI flight recorder repairs from CNi (GPS Date problems)

We've had to change tactics slightly to deal with the Cambridge flight recorder GPS date problems recently discussed here on r.a.s.

Here's the latest:

Cambridge 302 needs a new GPS card to fix this the right way. Simply soldering in a new battery won't get your 302 through Winter storage (which is where *my* 302 vario is right now). Few people will want to remove a vario for the Winter to maintain the GPS date.

This problem will be repaired under our existing CAI 302 flat rate policy: we fix (almost) any 302 and provide a 1 year warranty and fresh barograph calibration for $350.

Cambridge model 10/20/25 flight recorders were always intended to be mounted in an easily removable fashion, so we feel that the battery only fix is better economy for these older units. CNi will replace the GPS date battery, fix your date problem and calibrate the barograph for $125. It will be up to you to maintain the battery by powering up the flight logger for a few hours every 3 months or you will lose the date... there will be a warning/reminder label on your returned unit to this effect.

Gary Kammerer handles all of our CAI service, please find contact info for Gary on our website.

Best regards and Good Soaring in 2015,
