A question: How does Winscore calculate finish altitude on a cylinder finish? Winscore calculates altitudes and finish heights according to SSA Contest rules 6.7.4.3 and 11.2.1.5.1. .... Guy Byars Author of Winscore Winscore calculates altitudes and finish heights according to SSA Contest rules 6.7.4.3 and 11.2.1.5.1. ... Guy Byars Author of Winscore What does winscore do about 6.7.4 Altitude recording 6.7.4.1 A Flight Recorder may record altitude derived from a calculated position. The estimated altitude inaccuracy shall be applied in a way unfavorable to the pilot (if the flight log does not include a reliable estimate of this inaccuracy, a value of 75 feet shall be used). 6.7.4.2 A Flight Recorder may record a calibratable pressure altitude. If such a device is used in circumstances where altitude is needed, the altitude inaccuracy determined from the best available calibration data shall be applied in a way unfavorable to the pilot. 6.7.4.3 If a Flight Recorder records both calculated and pressure altitude, pressure altitude will be the primary data source and calculated altitude will be the backup data source for flight evaluation. I've never really understood these rules. Does winscore subtract 75 feet from GPS altitude in deciding if you get a penalty (or add it for start gates and 17500?) I've never submitted calibration data at a contest, does 6.7.4.2. apply anywhere? John Cochrane |
