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

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. Cheers /Tim Shirley/ /tra

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 inc

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

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. T

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. Cheers /Tim Shirley/ /tra dire é fare c' é mezzo il mare/ On 27/03/2014 12:32, Ben Lox

Hi Jenny One of the traps I fell into was when you save a .cup file to the SD card is to make sure you "Save As", as a straight "Save" converts the.cup to a text file which the collibri will not recognise. check the file on the SD card is really a .cup file. Chris Runeckles GCWA On Mon, Dec 9,
