Caution:
the Co-ordinates are in XX°XX.XXX’ format. Therefore the number 4619616
should be read as 46 degrees 19.616 minutes, which corresponds to 46°19’39.96“.
More information in regard to IGC Format is available on the FAI Website under:

9.6.2 New Regulation for Record flights or decentralised
Competitions (OLC)
Since the proof of a completed flight depends entirely on the GPS recording, it is important
to ensure before take-off that the GPS-receiver indeed receives satellite signals.
Therefore please switch-on the FLYTEC 6030 GPS at least a few minutes before take-off so
that even pre-flight events are included in the recording. Please also read: 4.1
4.1
Flight-Memory and Flight-Analysis.
The Barogramm is also included in the IGC-File which is generated for each flight.
Photographic proof and confirmation by flight observers are no longer required for national
performance flights. The file can be sent directly to the judging committee of the OLC via
the Internet. (At present, the OLC is evaluated in Germany by the DHV).
Please also read: 4.2 Data exchange via PC.
9.6.3. Evidence of flights - Security against Manipulation
The FAI (Féderation Aéronautique Internationale) and its subgroup IGC (International
Gliding Committee) require a recording format which, while memorising continuously
the time of day, position and also the flight altitude, substitutes the barograph. When
transmitting flight data to the pilot’s PC, a so-called IGC-File is created, which receives
a digital signature (=G-Record) authenticating the flight data and making it fraud-resistant.
If only one character of the file containing the flight would be changed, the signature
would no longer be compliant to the data and the judging committee would be aware
of the manipulation.
