Hi Tim and all,
My understanding re barograph calibration periods is as follows:
The transition from the Sporting Code's
long-standing 2-year calibration interval to the
new 5-year interval took place on October 1 2013.
The new rule applies only to electronic
barographs, including those incorporated in all
Flight Recorders and some Position Recorders. In a nutshell:-
(1) any calibration done on or after 1 October
2011 (eg: "current" under the old rules) will be
extended to its 5-year anniversary; and
(2) a calibration done before 1 October 2011
means the 5-year interval applies to the NEXT
calibration, done - at the latest - within 2
months after a badge or record flight.
Regards,
Geoff V

Hi Ben and all,
The current requirement for calibration is for 5
years prior to the flight in question (SC 3 Oct 2013 Para 4.4.4a).
Annex A (the World Comps Rules) says only that a
current calibration certificate must be
provided. So the chart that came with the
instrument will do, assuming you still have it.
If your Colibri II is older than 5 years it must be a fairly early model :)

Hi Ben,
We can do it for you.
A$99 plus shipping. best if you include a
return Express bag and then we don't charge for shipping.
If you can get more than one logger in the
batch we can put up to 6 in the pressure
chamber and the price is A$99 for the first and A$66 for each subsequent.
The pump down and stabilise at each pressure is
what takes a fait bit of time so more than one
at a time is good. There is a specific IGC schedule for the run up.
The Colibri manual method does not comply.

Mike

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone knows how to get a
Colibri II logger recalibrate (for use in claims and world comp flying)?
Is there anyone in Australia who can do it?
does it have to go back to Europe? If it has
to go to Europe does anyone have a contact at LX?
Thanks for any assistance
Kind Regards,
Ben
