Jim,
Could be radio frequency interference.
The pressure altitude and GPS altitude are two
different parts of the output messages.
Could be that you are losing GPS altitude
sometimes and Winpilot then uses PA. IF WinPilot
has setups that allow it, take a look at what
you have set it to use
Hi Ross,
This is an FAI document not a GFA one, and the requirements may therefore be
set by someone else.
However, I will talk to Beryl and see what may be done.
Cheers

When are we going to automate this process? Why does Beryl have to
personally sign everyone's competition licence renewal? It is a process
embedded in 1960's thinking. Surely there is a way that these renewals can
be completed online now?

Hi Tim,
There is an internal backup battery in the recorder (the black box
with the GPS antena on top) and in the L-NAV (flight computer) unit
itself. So far, I've replaced the recorder backup battery, is it the
one you had in mind?

Sorry Jim – my mistake. I was talking about Cambridge 20 problems where the
internal battery often causes erratic behaviour.
OzFlarms don’t have an internal battery – which is why if the power goes off
they die instantly.
Flarms, like other loggers, record both pressure altitude and gps
But i dont have the cambridge just the flarm and the pda. Do either of these
have a internal battery?

It is almost certainly the internal battery. I have seen this type of erratic
behaviour quite a few times.
I’m not saying that with 100% certainty, because much else can go wrong. But
it is the first thing to try.

I have a feeling the my problem may be the flarm switching rapidly between gps
and barometric pressure.
I will try my other pda and then the volkslogger. Could it be a winpilot thing?

Hi Robert,
In a bit more detail, this is what you need to do.
Pay for your renewal ($10.00) at the GFA shop. You will automatically get an
email receipt, within minutes if you pay using a credit card.
The office staff will let Beryl Hartley know (via email) that you have paid.
Post you licence
Thank Ross,
The PDA has the correct current date set so the IGC files written to
the PDA file system were dated correctly, it is the internal IGC
file record HFDTE that shows an incorrect date; In SeeYou, it is the
one on the Flight tab, General Information, Date of Flight.

Hi Jim,
Tim Shirley suggested changing the Cambridge internal battery. I did
this (the voltage jumped from 3.0V to 3.3V) as a precaution but
will have to wait until the next flying day to see if it made any
difference.
Regards
Jarek
BTW
I run WinPilot 9 on a HX4700

The date issue will be related to the date/time set in your PDA.
The Barogram issue is likely to be an intermittent "spike" in the log trace,
I sometimes get this issue on my log trace as well, that would also possibly
screw up your final glide and L/D calcs.

And notice Winter ASI VNE (red radial) seems to be 150kts or 152kts.
Strictly speaking GFA require for issue if Australian C of A an ASI with
markings on ASIs 20 kts over the VNE.
To all considering new gliders ask the factory for an ASI with a mark at
170kts as have been provided by Achim Winter
Go to the GFA online shop and look under FAI - not Sport !

Hi
I've spent a frustrating time trying to find information on the GFA
web site on how to renew my competition licence - to no avail.
Please can someone point me to the web reference to this - or
otherwise tell me how to do this?

I run winpilot on my ipaq 3890 and it gets data from the flarm (ozflarm) I get
the same steps on the trace from winpilot. I have checked this with 2 different
flarm systems in 2 different gliders and it is the same problem. So unlikely to
be lose wires etc. I have no idea why it does thi
That instrument panel picture tells you why it is a bad idea to
integrate the flight recorder into your soaring instruments.

Hi,
I've already emailed Ian McPhee about this but perhaps someone has an idea
what could be the problem.
- No trace in the Cambridge recorder.
- The PDA connected to the Cambridge recorded the flight (WinPilot)
but with the date of 23/01/1994.
