Actually, both would need to be approved. But since the Joey also records position, the Joey could potentially qualify for approval both as a PR and a barograph, similar to OzFlarm. This would depend in part on the existence of a suitable security system for the Joey download. I can't remember what it does. I was under the impression that Joeys qualified already as a calibratable stand-alone barograph.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Free Distance?? So, Mike, if I hook up my Garmin 72 (no pressure sensor) to my Joey and the Joey starts recording, is it getting the pressure data from the barograph or GPS altitude from the GPS for the trace? I know that it will output an IGC file (with a G Number?)but will this combination (perhaps) satisfy what Tim is talking about?
