New Technology Expert Group

Task List 2014

Policy

• To be the reference in terms of electronic devices used in air sports
• To define FAI-standards for these devices
• To assure the use of the most appropriate measurements devices in competitions and performance flights, in particular to increase competition attractiveness and safety
• To find cost efficient solutions to technical challenges common to FAI disciplines such as, for example, tracking or logging.

Goals

• Find a solution for live tracking and public presentation taking into account
  • The different needs of disciplines
  • Geographical challenges (mountains, seas, flatlands
  • Data transmission costs
  • Linking tracking to real time scoring
  • Showing tracking to the public (on-site displays, internet, mobile, public interfaces)
  • Approaching technologies (like ADS-B)
• Establish minimum requirements for flight evidence
  • Technical security of FR’s
  • Safe technologies
  • Improve data recording (frequency and duration / tracker vs logger)
  • Criteria for instrument homologation
• Improve reliability of measurement methods (altitude, speed, distance)
• Establish recommendations for technicians / developers to execute the tasks or find the appropriate technicians / developers for specific tasks
• Give ASCs and CASI report on possible changes needed to the SC.
