Inexpensive portable IGC data recorders
I'm particularly puzzled by this statement on the FlyWithCE website: "Internet connection is required to generate secure IGC files."
- why would an internet connection be needed to secure the file? Seems like a contradiction in terms.
- does the logging device itself connect to the internet, or just the supplied software?
- if the latter, can the flight logs be extracted without that specific software?
Personally I wouldn't accept a recorder that does not generate stand-alone files in its memory that can be transferred to any computer as from any USB memory stick.
