Leaving aside the issue of creating a valid task: * There is as of now only one GPS Position Recorder approved by the SSA for Badge attempts, and that is FlyWithCE. * I know that we posted this information last year, but I too can't find it on the SSA Website, sorry. * We'll get that fixed. * As others have mentioned, you still need to carry a "traditional" Barograph recording pressure-based readings. * As it stands, there have been no claims using this method in the US to date and very few in several other active gliding countries, largely due to the complexities introduced in having to manage two separate devices. * Just a minor point of clarification, IGC rules permit approval of "position recorders" which have integral pressure altitude recording capability, and therefore can be used without a separate barograph. For example, some FLARM devices are not IGC approved flight recorders, and have been approved by various countries as combined position recorders and barographs... Marc |
