The CIMA standard as contained in [FAI Section 10 annex 6|http://www.fai.org/microlight/documents/sc10] lays down a standard format which all approved flight recorders must provide.

This format is based on the *FAI IGC format* as devised by the [International Gliding Commission of the FAI|http://www.fai.org/gliding/] and the files are always named with the suffix *.igc*

There are many different free and commercial softwares which will read .igc format files.  Some examples are:
* [Oziexplorer|http://www.oziexplorer.com]
* [SeeYou|http://www.seeyou.ws/]
* [Coutraci|http://coutraci.free.fr/home1.html]

Jose Luis Esteban has also devised [MicroFlap|MicroFLAP] which is specially designed to analyse flights in Microlight competitions.
