Top Hat igc files are acceptable for OLC flights, but not for badges.

If you are an Air Avionics iGlide user, please share your evaluation.
Also interested in knowing if you are happy with the sunlight
readability of your iPhone. Is iPhone 6 brighter than iPhone 5?
Top Hat https://www.tophatsoaring.org/ is another excellent glide computer (glide computer only, not a logger). Impressive on a Samsung S10 and its free.

iGlide will upload your IGC file directly to OLC from the phone, no intermediate steps at all.


Does iGlide record engine noise level? Flying a Stemme, he would need that.

No engine noise level with iGlide sadly. I fly a ASH-26e and have inquired about this. I really like iGlide but all of my flights using it are not qualified for OLC.

I also use iGlide in a 26E. iGlide isn't alone in this regard, as none of the
software supplied flight computers detect engine noise level (ENL). It's not a
problem for me, as I can upload an IGC file from my Flarm or my vario. I say it's
time for you to do an instrument upgrade: get a Flarm, a vario with ENL, or a IGC
flight recorder that has ENL. All of these will add other useful features than
just the OLC capability, somewhat mitigating the additional cost.

‘‘Twas time! Just installed a LXNav S10. Though small (57mm), it’s a heck of a setup. I like the loads of setup options. Youthful eyes are needed for it but I’ve got it set up for quick glances and eyes back outside.
