Mike and Jason, my EW manual advises that the D model has 128Kb Static RAM, and can be adjusted to take samples from between 1 to 999 seconds apart. It also advises that I can expect up to 50 hours of battery depending on temperature.
In a section on memory the manual advises that the D will hold approx. 44,000 samples, recording pressure only, or 22,000 samples recording both GPS and pressure altitude. The section also provides what it calls a rough guide to recording times, and using a 4 second sample rate they claim 48 hours recording pressure altitude only or 24 hours recording pressure altitude and GPS data. In a section headed "IGC approval" they refer readers to a document called "IGC APPROVAL FOR EWFR A B C AND D GNSS FLIGHT RECORDERS FOR BADGE FLIGHTS UP TO AND INCLUDING DIAMONDS ISSUE 3 DATED 29 Jan 99". I don't think you would find the answer to why the unit can't be used to claim 500+ flights in that document.
