Revised IGC-approvals for some types of legacy recorder

The rules don't change every week. Rule changes are proposed at the IGC
meeting each March. Those rule changes that are accepted at the meeting
go into effect the following October. The manufacturers of approved
flight recorders (and those who have notified us that they intend to
submit a recorder for approval) are nearly always given advanced
notification (nobody is perfect, except you apparently) of proposed
changes, and asked for their input.


Marc,

I suggest you seriously research the history of what happened in 1995
to 1997. The IGC had rules in place for loggers which GFAC blatently
defied when it came to approval. The rules were then changed quite
outside the system you talk about. It is a matter of public record. I
suggest you contact Robert Danewid and EW Avionics privately and
publish your apology here later.
