Applications

Gliding
There is a large group of pilots who are flying just for fun, who have different requirements to “competition” pilots. Many club gliders do not have flight recorders fitted, and the FR300 is ideal for those pilots who want to record their flight and easily download it at home on their PC.

General aviation

Flight schools can simply hand out the FR300 to solo pilots renting their aircraft for post analysis. Hire and Fly operators can keep track of how their aircraft are being used. Charter operators can show exact miles flown and time on the ground at remote destinations.
The FR300’s very small size, internal battery and ease of use, make it ideal for use by paraglider and hang glider pilots and even in small UAV testing.
