Can I do that,if so how? I use a Oudie but it's not connected to Flarm.
Thanks

Now that I have a Portable PowerFLARM I noticed that it time-stamps electronic declarations (as they appear in the flight log file) at the moment of takeoff. This is a problem, because therefore you cannot override that declaration with a paper declaration. The standard practice around here is to make a paper declaration just before takeoff, after the e-device has done its declaration. Thus if it turns out that the e-declaration has errors (e.g., one uploaded the wrong task) then the *later* paper declaration can override it (if the official observer signs the correction form). Can't do that when the e-declaration is post-dated to the moment of takeoff.
