Re: [Aus-soaring] Platinum Diamond Badge/Diploma?
Hello Bob, Unfortunately the 600, 700, 800 & 900km flights have to all be claimed individually. I found that out recently when I tried for multiple claims on my 750km FAI in the dry (had to add that one in!) Cirrus. Must ask Beryl to see if anyone has done it prior to this season - as Dad has just completed the full suite, could he be the first (if they ever award such a badge/diploma/certificate)?!

Re: [Aus-soaring] Platinum Diamond Badge/Diploma?
There has been a semi-serious suggestion of a 5-diamond badge for 25km altitude. The suggestion hasn't reached the FAI yet. I'm going to get a badge designed just in case. Of course the 5 diamonds will have to be arranged in a Southern Cross. - Morgan Sandercock Project Manager, Perlan Project Phone (USA): +1 541 350 8517 Current Timezone: USA Pacific Time ___ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring

Re: [Aus-soaring] See You Flight Analysis
Peter and Lisa Trotter use SeeYou extensively for flight analysis and teach the best techniques on all of their caching courses (GlideFast). I would suggest they would be your best source of information on the value of the product. Personally I use it all the time for both task planning (uploads direct to LX9000) and post flight analysis as well as reviewing competitors flights at comps. Learned a lot that way. Great product. ROSS From: aus-soaring-boun...@lists.internode.on.net [mailto:aus-soaring-boun...@lists.internode.on.net] On Behalf Of Trezise Sent: Friday, 22 March 2013 2:28 PM To: aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net Subject: [Aus-soaring] See You Flight Analysis I would be very interested to hear the views of pilots who regularly use See You to analyse flight performance; particularly those at the pointy end of the comp fields. Maybe this could be broken down into practice and comps situations. Main issues would be what do you look at, and what relative importance do you place on each aspect. Has this tool provided any tangible benefits to your flying in enabling things to be done differently in the future, or do you just see it as a historical record of things past, and leave it at that.
