All certifications and calibrations must clearly relate to the flight, event, or equipment being certified or calibrated, and include the date of the certification/calibration, the signature of the person doing the certification/calibration and, where applicable, the OO's signature. Each separate sheet of paper must have this identification. Diskettes or other electronic memory devices storing flight or calibration data must be labelled clearly.
Except as permitted for flight recorders and electronic barographs (see 4.6.4 and 4.7.2), a barogram shall have the following information clearly registered on it:
a. Identification mark of OO before takeoff,
b. For altitude and gain of height records, the pressure at ground level (QFE) at time of takeoff,
c. Date of flight,
d. Name of pilot,
e. Type, serial number and altitude range of barograph,
f. Type and registration of glider,
g. Altitude of release (or of stopping the means of propulsion for motor gliders),
h. Proof of no intermediate landing,
i. Date and signature of OO after landing.
Additionally, if the barograph is also the MoP recorder:
j. Means of propulsion was stopped prior to leaving the start point,
k. Means of propulsion was not used between the start point and the finish point.
The landing certificate shall state precisely the location of the landing place and the time of landing.
The barograph calibration certificate shall include:
a. Type, serial number and altitude range of barograph,
b. Date of calibration,
c. Calibration trace, graph or table,
d. Date, name and signature of calibration laboratory official.
The timing device calibration statement shall include:
a. Type and serial number of timing device used,
b. Description of method for (and result of) calibration of the timing device (4.4.6),
c. Date and signature of OO or calibration laboratory official doing the calibration.
For claims submitted to the FAI, the current FAI Official Claim Forms approved by IGC must be used. For national claims, the NAC may issue its own forms similar to the FAI versions. When submitted to the FAI, the pages of each form should be printed on one sheet of paper such as by using back-to-back printing on A3 size paper (or 11" x 17" paper in North America).
| Designation | Record type | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Form A | Absolute Altitude or Gain of Height | |
| Form B | Distance | |
| Form C | Speed | |
| Form D | Motor Gliders | Form D is additional to other forms if appropriate to the claim. |
| Form E | Completed by all NACs involved | Must be included with claim file. |
The FAI forms ( new versions, November 2007) are attached to this page (see below) and are available in hard copy from the FAI office and NACs.
