With 43 types of recorders with
all sorts of different characteristics, it was becoming more and more
difficult to treat them all in the same way. Therefore, in 2005, IGC
introduced a series of different IGC-approval levels for ALL IGC-
approved recorders. These levels are listed in para 1.1.3.3 of Annex
B to the Sporting Code (also on the IGC web pages).

And that, my friends, is why I'm sticking with clockwork and silver
nitrate!

Which, I believe, are no longer accepted for badge/record claims (at
least in the US - no sure about Britain) - so why bother?

If you really think using a barograph is easier than a logger, you are
a real Luddite!

I have no connection to the company, but I absolutely _love_ my
ewMicroRecorder. Flew with it in a few different gliders at a few
different places this year and it worked great everywhere I went.

Built-in GPS and a fully-approved IGC logger for all levels of
flights. It has ONE BUTTON to turn it on and off (and it
automatically turns on if you supply it with ship's power - for "hands-
free" operation). Plugs directly into a PC or Mac to grab the IGC
file (like a USB thumb-drive), or get the SD-card version and just
pull the card at the end of the day. No menu-insanity or switchology
like the Volkslogger or a lot of the fancy flight computers (I can
hook my PDA up to the MicroRecorder and get a lot of the same
functionality, and if the unit is hooked up to ship's power it can
even pass that along to the PDA and charge it in-flight).

Even if you have a comprehensive flight computer, the MicroRecorder is
a great secondary / backup unit. Its also the perfect "club logger"
because its so simple and rugged.
