MicroPeak Approved for NAR Contests

The NAR Contest Board has approved MicroPeak for use in contests requiring a barometric altimeter starting on the 1st of April, 2014. You can read the announcement message on the contestRoc Yahoo message board here:

Contest Board Approves New Altimeter

The message was sent out on the 30th of January, but there is a 90 day waiting period after the announcement has been made before you can use MicroPeak in a contest, so the first date approved for contest flights is April 1. After that date, you should see MicroPeak appear in Appendix G of the pink book, which lists the altimeters approved for contest use

Thanks much to the NAR contest board and all of the fliers who helped get MicroPeak ready for this!
