Visulalizing the Finish Cylinder

No, but you bring up a good point. Heaven forbid, should
we have an accident, we are producing a complete log
of everything we are doing, complete with altitude,
time and exact position. The feds won't even have to
bring out their tape measure, will they?

I agree with your stand on the cylinder vs.gate, JJ, but I don't agree about
the logger. Nowhere in the FAR's that I know of does it say that I need to
show my logger (or its files) to the FAA. They can check my pilot's
license, my identification, my glider paperwork, maybe my parachute packing
card, but not my logger. They will still need their tape measure. If they
want to inspect the logger post mortem, OK, it probably won't matter much to
me if I was legal or not at that point.

Actually, my heirs may not want the FAA or the insurance company looking at
the logger post mortem, either. I don't know if they would prevail in such
a case.

Sorry that I am taking this off topic.
