Igc-approval Issued For Colibri Recorder With Flarm

[Administrateur]

Subject: IGC-approval issued for Colibri recorder with Flarm.

 

I am pleased to announce that, after appropriate evaluation and testing

by the IGC GNSS Flight Recorder Approval Committee (GFAC), a revised

IGC-approval document has been issued for the LX Navigation Colibri

flight recorder. The testing involved the latest Colibri version which

has a Flarm (Flight Alarm) proximity warning module inside the recorder.

In view of the IGC standard of physical and electronic security that is

incorporated in the Colibri recorder, this approval is for "all flights"

including world records.

 

The date of effect is 31 March 2007 and the new model type is the LX

Navigation Colibri 4F (4 for the model 4 series, F for Flarm). Details

of its characteristics and operation in the gliding environment are

given in the IGC-approval document.

 

The updated IGC-approval document will be posted on the IGC GNSS web

pages shortly. Go to http://www.fai.org/gliding/gnss and search for the

link half way down the page, under: "List of IGC-approved FRs, with

links to complete IGC-approval documents." Then look for LXN Colibri

4F in the table of 34 types of IGC-approved flight recorders. The link

to the IGC-approval document is in the last column of the table.

 

-------------------------

 

This brings to two the IGC-approved flight recorders that have a Flarm

proximity warning function in addition to the recording facility. The

IGC-approval for the Flarm-equipped LX Navigation LX7007F recorder was

issued on 17 March 2006. This approval is also for "all flights".

 

Meanwhile, as announced at the recent IGC Plenary meeting, the IGC GFA

Committee is testing two other types of recorders with Flarm, with a

view to IGC-approval in due course. These are Swiss Flarm by the Flarm

company of Zurich, and the LXN Red Box Flarm by LX Navigation of

Slovenia.
