Hi;
WRT XCSoar this question has been flogged to death in various places. It
almost came to a homicide on the developers' list. The net result is:

Whether this will satisfy the US competition authorities, or anybody
else, I do not know. And I do not care.
The point is that accelerometers / gyros are going to become so
ubiquitous that the competition rule writers are going to be writing
themselves into history if they persist with their "no instruments"
approach.

So anything with gyros/accelerometers/magnetometers and certainly in
combination with GPS is more than enough to build a high quality artificial
horizon in software.
Question is, how do you detect this and make sure the pilot doesn't have
micro SD card or another device that transfers (even wirelessly) the AH
software to the nice colour display device after scrutiny?
