Just a minor point of clarification, IGC rules permit approval of
"position recorders" which have integral pressure altitude recording
capability, and therefore can be used without a separate barograph.
For example, some FLARM devices are not IGC approved flight recorders,
and have been approved by various countries as combined position
recorders and barographs...
