Frequently Asked Questions

Where do IGC files come from?
IGC is the flight log format of the FAI International Gliding Commission. Gliding and paragliding flight recorders, variometers (Flytec, Naviter, XC Tracer, Skytraxx) and apps like XCTrack write it, and flight sites such as XContest, WeGlide and OLC let you download flights as .igc. The pilot and glider name from the header become the track name.
Which altitude is used, GPS or barometric?
The GNSS (GPS) altitude from each B record, which is height above the WGS 84 ellipsoid as logged by the flight recorder. If a logger records 0 for GNSS altitude, the pressure altitude is used instead.
