Re: [Aus-soaring] Colibri II re-calibration
Well you can always learn. 5 years instead of 2 is very sensible. I only do Cambridge and Clear Nav (was Winter once upon a time) mainly because with other brands people forget to send me instructions or leads and I waste too much time trying to work it out. Besides I have no interest. I have not charged juniors going to world's. over the years. I can do 2 (or maybe 3) units at a time as my chamber is very small. I can say the old (15 yes plus) Cambridge model 10s 20s do have a largish variations but the Cambridge 302 and Clear Nav MFD (vario awaits IGC approval right now) are extremely accurate and vary very little from year to year. Thus the 5 years is very sensible. Ian mcphee PS NEVER EVER use a EW lead with a CAMBRIDGE and not too sure about the other way around but may not be very healthy!!

Re: [Aus-soaring] Colibri II re-calibration
I believe that Mike Borgelt can do it. Also, any accredited instrument repair workshop (one that calibrates ASI or Altimeter). The manual gives calibration instructions for use by the place that does it.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Colibri II re-calibration
Hi Ben, We can do it for you. A$99 plus shipping. best if you include a return Express bag and then we don't charge for shipping. If you can get more than one logger in the batch we can put up to 6 in the pressure chamber and the price is A$99 for the first and A$66 for each subsequent. The pump down and stabilise at each pressure is what takes a fait bit of time so more than one at a time is good. There is a specific IGC schedule for the run up. The Colibri manual method does not comply.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Colibri II re-calibration
Hi Ben and all, The current requirement for calibration is for 5 years prior to the flight in question (SC 3 Oct 2013 Para 4.4.4a). Annex A (the World Comps Rules) says only that a current calibration certificate must be provided. So the chart that came with the instrument will do, assuming you still have it. If your Colibri II is older than 5 years it must be a fairly early model :) Cheers /Tim Shirley/ /tra dire é fare c' é mezzo il mare/ On 27/03/2014 13:28, Mike Borgelt wrote: Hi Ben, We can do it for you.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Colibri II re-calibration
Hi Tim and all, My understanding re barograph calibration periods is as follows: The transition from the Sporting Code's long-standing 2-year calibration interval to the new 5-year interval took place on October 1 2013. The new rule applies only to electronic barographs, including those incorporated in all Flight Recorders and some Position Recorders. In a nutshell:- (1) any calibration done on or after 1 October 2011 (eg: current under the old rules) will be extended to its 5-year anniversary; and (2) a calibration done before 1 October 2011 means the 5-year interval applies to the NEXT calibration, done - at the latest - within 2 months after a badge or record flight.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Colibri II re-calibration
Hi Geoff, The Colibri II Approval document was issued on 25 Feb 2012. No Colibri II calibration can predate this so your point (1) applies to all of them. As a result the only situation where Ben's C II would need calibration is if he has lost his certificate.
