I'll add couple more questions:

1 - How does one electronically declare a task with post declared start
and
finish (such as 1000km diploma where the start and finish do not need to
be
declared) without the logger automatically assign the first and last
turnpoints as start/finish?

Can you get a 1000km diploma with a free distance flight? It was my
understanding that Klaus Ohlman has not got a 2000 km diploma because his
flights of 3000 km and more were free distance rather than pre declared.
In 2.1.4 The sporting code states that the badges are awarded for 'distance
flights' of 1000km or more.
A distance flight for badges or for badges and records is defined and must
be declared

2 - Can a flight considered valid for FAI badges or records if the power
is
temporarily interrupted (which results in 2 log files)?


Depends! If the finish of 1 logfile and the start of the next are less than
60 seconds apart then I think you can. Not sure beyond that.


Several years ago the IGC rehashed the sporting code section 3 to simplify
it but if you ask me it's still confusing and I consider myself to be at
least of average intelligence.

Declare takeoff and (possible) landing points only?

No declaration required: tow release would be the start; landing the
finish. A motorglider is a bit different.


2 - If a declaration of any task is made electronically and the logger
is
sealed in the glider does the declaration still need to be refreshed
every
day to include the date of the flight or will one declaration cover
several
days of flying?

THe declaration has to be made before you take off, and there is no time
limit on how long before. I often have a declaration that is a month or
more old.

I'm thinking of a situation where you are away from OO's for a period.

You still need witnesses at the start and finish, though in the case of
a distance flight, the witnesses don't necessarily have to see the
landing.
