be ignored. If a task is declared by writing, the coordinates of all given points must be on the declara-
tion. Only the coordinates are used for evaluation, the turnpoint names will be ignored.
This declaration is signed by the official observer and the pilot with date and time. The time is impor-
tant to find out the latest valid declaration if several task declarations were done by writing.
The official observer takes care, that the named pilot with the named glider had the named recorder
on board when taking off. The takeoff time must be noted.
If the task in the recorder is the valid task, this task can be changed up to the time of takeoff. The
task change can be done by SR940 or by PC.
After landing the task flown is written on the flight declaration and it must be marked if that was the
declared task. The pilot signs this statement.
Takeof time and landing time are also written to the declaration. These important times must be con-
firmed by an official observer, as these times will tell, if the named recorder was used on this flight. If
the flight ended with an outlanding then only the takeof time will confirmed.
Flight data can be read by any person from the recorder. A diskette with these data and the written
declaration is send to an authorized evaluation center, where the flight data are checked for validity
and the flight is evaluated.
The personal information written into the recorder should be ignored as pilot and glider information is
always part of the written declaration. This would allow that the recorder can be used in other gliders
or by other pilots who have no PC readily available to change these information.
FAI rules allow that task declarations can be made on paper or by entry into the recorder or both; the
valid task declaration is always the last before takeoff. But this requires that the time must be written
on the declaration paper when signing it.To avoid misunderstandings it is recommended to use only
one type of declaration: by writing or by entry into the recorder.
