Default missing gps fixes after upload


I received an e-mail suggesting to open the B-record in notepad, and
deleting the bogus line. Has anybody else tried this?

If you edit the B record, the OLC security check will indicate the file
was tampered with, which it was, and give you the dreaded red V.


My experience is that this is not true. in the last 2 or 3 weeks I
erased a bogus line from a Cambridge 20 file, and it was then accepted
by the OLC with no red mark. Last year I did the same thing 2 or 3
times with no red mark, but maybe the security test was different then.


You're
not allowed to edit your flight logs. Thats the whole point of the
security check. The recorded position fix was "bad", but it was part of
the secure flight log in your *.cai file.

Your only option is to appeal to whoever is evaluating the log, the OLC
in this case, to ignore the obviously bad fix in the log.
