I have heard stories that the Volkslogger will also create a new
declaration on power up. That is, it sets the timestamp of the
declaration that is currently stored to be the time of power on. Any
idea this happens? Though, since one is already splicing together two
logs, the declaration of the previous log should be good enough.

The CAI 302, on the other hand, will not update the declaration (with
the timestamp of when it was made) until it starts a new log. This is
after about 5 minutes of "inactivity". I sent a concern to CAI a while
ago about this, as there could be a situation where a pilot will decide
to make a new declaration during a quick relight. If no OO is
available to do a paper declaration, then only the electronic one can
be used - and it's possible it won't take. (Consider a self-launcher
at an unattended airport).
