Zie: http://www.fai.org/downloads/igc/IGC_2013_Minutes9.2.4 Increase of intervals of FR calibration
It was proposed to extend the calibration period for Flight Recorders from 2 years to 5 years.
Mr Frank, Danish Alternate Delegate, presented material from 5 years of calibration of FRs from Denmark, which showed hardly any variance over a 5 year period.
Mr Bernald Smith agreed to the proposal and felt that this could have been done several years ago.
Mr Bradley also supported the proposal that also would reduce cost.
The proposal was adopted with 34 votes for and 1 abstention.
An amendment to the proposal was then tabled, proposing that the above 5 year rule could go straight into the version of the Sporting Code from October 2013, and would be applicable for IGC sanctioned competitions from the 31st March 2013.
The amendment was unanimously adopted.
Hoogtemeterijking logger 5 jaar geldig
Hoogtemeterijking logger 5 jaar geldig
Tijdens een vergadering van de FAI is unaniem besloten de verplichte ijking van de loggers vijf jaar te laten gelden i.p.v. de huidige twee jaren. De ijking is overigens alleen verplicht als er voor de toekenning van een claim hoogtemeter informatie noodzakelijk is. Dit is ondermeer het geval bij recordvluchten.
