Its not that its a problem, its a great motivator to get people to go

until proven innocent.

Pilots claims can be in error for reasons besides cheating, and this was
particularly true before GPS loggers were used. For example: going to
the wrong turnpoint(s); miscalculating the height gain (easy to do with
a Replogle and similar barograph); not determining the allowed
start/finish height loss correctly; and even landing too late.

Its not stopping me from going ahead for it in any way.


Good! I got my Badges through Diamond in a Ka-6e with a camera and
barograph, and loved every minute of it. The challenges were great fun,
and pushed me to learn more about soaring.
