Hi,

Below is a note from NK regarding the ClearNav's IGC Approval.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde
___________________________

I am very pleased to announce that on May 25th the ClearNav was granted IGC
approval for "all flights". All ClearNavs except ones shipped last week will
need to be returned to the factory for upgrade to this standard. Production
units need to have the ENL (engine noise level) circuit adjusted to the IGC
standard and the latest firmware (v30) loaded. First Flight units require up
to four hardware ECO's (engineering change orders) depending on there date
of purchase, ENL and altitude calibration, assignment of a serial number,
electronic sealing and firmware upgrade to v30.

Please return the unit at your convenience by filling out the RA (Return
Authorization) at the link below and shipping to us. We will make every
effort to return it to you in a timely way. My turnaround goal is 1-2
business days. gk

IGC-approval for Nielsen Kellerman ClearNav GNSS Flight Recorder.

I have pleasure in announcing that IGC-approval for "all flights" has
been
given to the Nielsen Kellerman ClearNav-IGC GNSS Flight Recorder,
effective 25 May 2009.

This follows test and evaluation by the IGC GNSS Flight Recorder
Approval
Committee (GFAC) in accordance with Annex B to the Sporting Code and
the Specification for IGC-approved GNSS Flight Recorders.

The IGC-approval document will appear on the IGC GNSS web site
shortly,
together with the manufacturer's DLL file for use with the IGC Shell
program for the Validation of IGC files produced by this type of
recorder.

The IGC-approval only applies to the IGC version of this recorder,
with the
firmware standard as given in the IGC-approval document. Earlier
versions
of the ClearNav that are currently in service are not included in this
IGC-
approval, although it is understood that they can be updated to the
IGC
standard by application to the manufacturer or his official agents.

This brings the number of IGC-approved GNSS Flight Recorders to 45
types, from 18 different manufacturers.

For details of all of the existing IGC-approval documents, see:

By clicking the link "List of IGC-approved FRs" a PDF document will
be
produced with:
(1) a table of all types of IGC-approved Flight Recorders,
(2) a table of Manufacturers,
(3) a list of all IGC-approval activity since 1996, and
(4) a short history of IGC GNSS Flight Recording.

However, please note that it has been found that the links to the
individual
IGC-approval documents in the tables in the above PDF document do not
work in Internet Explorer.

Links have therefore been added to the bottom of the page when you
first
go to:
