FLARM in all of its compatible versions (e.g. OzFLARM, miniOZ) should fulfill the requirements as "Position Recorders" after a firmware update which allows calibration of the pressure sensor.
It is, of course, up to the national authority to approve devices as "Position Recorders". Urs - FLARM Original Swiss FLARM, sold in 2004 (400pcs, mostly in Switzerland) are excluded from the above.

Tim there are quite a few GPS units that include a pressure sensor for altitude as opposed to relying on GPS altitude (eg the Garmin Geko, FLARM etc). Will it be possible to get these calibrated (under the same rules as other loggers) and use them as "barographs"? -- Robert Hart [email protected] +61 (0)438 385 533 http://www.hart.wattle.id.au
