PERSONAL FLIGHT RECORDER

Many pilots will find the new inexpensive pocket sized Personal Flight Recorder useful for basic flight analysis (and for OLC in many instances) but for some gliding badge claims, all record attempts and competition flights, IGC (International Gliding Commission) approved flight recorders (loggers) are normally required. Please note that some versions of Flarm have IGC approval (see Flarm section).

Under a recent change by the IGC these units can now be approved for national Silver and Gold distance badge flights (click here to see the new IGC regulations) – UK approval has been granted. Click here for the approval link

The new Personal Flight Recorder will be attractive to a wider aviation community than gliding: record your powered aircraft cross country flight, and see where you went, for example! As well as being a serious analytical tool, it is also a great fun device...........

Personal Flight Recorder

This non-IGC approved Personal Flight Recorder is aimed at those pilots, and not just glider pilots, who would like to have a playback facility to analyse their flights. With a size of only 70mm x 37mm x 24 mm (measure this image!) and weighing under 50 gms the Personal Flight Recorder fits easily in the pocket. Easy to use with just an on-off switch and powered by 2x internal batteries (AAA size or NiMH rechargeable equivalent) the Recorder uses a low-cost consumer GPS logging device and records GPS position and altitude. Integral GPS antenna. One year warranty is included.

100 hours recording time!

 

Flight playback is against a Google Earth background and shows the track flown in an easy to read format. With IGC analysis software more information can be extracted.

Supplied as follows:

•Personal Flight Recorder
•USB Cable
•CD-ROM with flywithCE Logbook, User's Manual and drivers
•2 x AAA NiMH (1000mAh) and USB charger or equivalent
•Free delivery within UK

Differences:

• Removable batteries mean that you need not be caught out by a flat battery as with a unit with integral power
• Interface software is by FlywithCE – no reliance on third party; updates free of charge
• outputs IGC format
  • IGC declaration
  • proper IGC file
• IGC file format files can be used for OLC (this status is still not 100%)
• output to Google Earth
  • 3D view
  • Barograph view (using GPS altitude and LXe or SeeYou)
  • off-line it offers more (you do not have to be connected to check the flights)
• logbook software functionality
  • browse flights by pilot, aircraft, flight time,…

Basically, the Personal Flight Recorder behaves as an IGC flight recorder in that it produces an IGC file with flight declaration. Other known devices and software are not believed to currently produce this output.

The Personal Flight Recorder and the software supplied with it gives the user a powerful piece of equipment for flight documentation and analysis.

New Colibri – F   Flight Recorder

Colibri with Flarm

The smallest Flight Recorder with a display with high level IGC approval (pending)

Now with both SD card and Flarm

Overview

Colibri is small in size but big in functionality. When used as a stand-alone unit it can be used for real time navigation, wind calculation and logging engine status; when connected to another system it can be used to supply a GPS signal.

This latest upgrade of Colibri by the addition of Flarm makes the unit potentially an even more popular flight recorder to add to the 1000s already in use worldwide. A 100% Flarm compatible electronic system has been built into the already diminutive Colibri housing. The Flarm antenna connector is positioned on the top of the unit and permits either a ¼ wave antenna or an extended antenna to be connected. The standard Flarm external display is also part of the delivery and is connected via a USB form of connector. All existing IGC and navigation functions remain unchanged and, in addition, the built in Flarm flight recorder (not IGC approved) provides a back up.

Please note that the mini usb port of the Colibri Flarm is used solely for the Flarm display and update function and not for routine flight downloads etc.

All you need to claim badges, records or competition flights; and now with Flarm

Features:

• Integral Flarm
• SD memory card (can be used to transfer flights, TP/TSK data and flight info)
• Membrane keyboard
• Multi Pilot/Glider set up
• IIf connected to a LX 160/LX 1600 and SeeUMobile/FlywithCE/Win Pilot or LX 7000 without GPS the Colibri becomes part of an advanced Flight System
• High Level IGC approval (pending as at Feb 07) makes the Colibri the ideal IGC Flight Recorder to claim your badge, record and competition flights.
