My question is pretty simple. Having a valid igc trace file, do I need

about the paper work more than about the flying.


Boy howdy! My main project tomorrow is to figure out how to properly
document badge flights. I got a datalogger a couple months ago, and
since have logged many flights that would have qualified for badges,
but I haven't a firm grasp on the paperwork requirements.


If you have a data logger, the requirements are pretty simple.

Plan a task that you want to attempt. For a duration or altitude leg,
there is no planning.

1) Find an Observer. They should be a pilot who has done badges
using a logger before.
2) Tell them your planned task.
3) For a distance task, declare it in the logger, before take off.
4) The observer should be able to verify that the logger was in your
glider for the entire flight.
5) Download the flight with the observer present. Burn the file to a
CD.
6) Fill out the award application with the observer.
7) send in the application, the flight and a copy of the logger's
calibration sheet. ( you should have gotten a calibration sheet with
the logger, and you need to renew it every 2 years )

That's it.

Thanks Todd (et al)

I'm OK with the process. I just wasn't sure if I needed the observer
for the flight duration. I knew I didn't need the declaration.

There's no need for me to have an opinion on the rules. They are what
they are and aren't really that hard to follow.
