The International Gliding Commission (IGC) introduced a new class of recorders – position recorders. Position Recorder approval is issued by national gliding committee for specific device. Pilots can claim Silver and Gold FAI badges.
Because flyWithCE Flight Recorder is using GPS to detect altitude, the pilot must gain extra 100 meters to compensate for possible altitude error example: the gain of height is at least 1100 meters for Silver altitude). For more information about position recorders, please check documents published on the FAI web page.
