Proposal from
Igor Pugach (UKR)
15 - Amendment of Section 10 paragraph 4.4.2
Existing text
4.4.2 When flight recorders have been used in a task, the data from these shall whenever possible be collected by the organisation immediately as pilots leave the deck after landing. This may be either by collecting the flight recorders, to be returned to pilots at a later stage, or by downloading the data directly into a computer on the spot.
New text
4.4.2 When flight recorders have been used in a task, the data from these shall whenever possible be collected by the organisation immediately as pilots leave the deck after landing or before they leave quarantine upon completing a task. This may be either by collecting the flight recorders, to be returned to pilots at a later stage, or by downloading the data directly into a computer on the spot.
Reason
Words "whenever possible" must be deleted as they give freedom for ignoring this rule by the competition organisers on the pretext that it is impossible. Adding "or before they leave quarantine upon completing a task" will eliminate opportunities of competitors cheating by bringing later any other recorders with corrected tracks.
