Default 60 Days for Calibration

Thank you Thank you Thank you. It appears that my source was right on,
we have 60 days with an electronic FR. It read as follows:

4.4.7 Barograph calibration
period

Barograph calibrations are required to ensure that the measurement of
barometric pressure and time are checked against, and corrected as
necessary, to official standards. For altitude and gain of height
records, both (a) AND (b) calibrations below are required, and the
least favourable calibration of the two shall be used making the
calculations for the record. For badges, start height verification,
and altitude difference calculation, either (a) OR (b) are required.

a. PRIOR TO THE FLIGHT

The calibration used must have been performed within 12 months prior to
the flight or, for IGC-approved electronic barographs and FRs, 24
months.

b. AFTER THE FLIGHT

The calibration used must have been performed within one month after
the flight or, for IGC-approved electronic barographs and FRs, two
months.


Thanks Again. I think I said that..:-)
