    Does anyone have specifications for the .igc file-format?
    I was unable to find the original document at the FAI site: http://www.fai.org/gliding

    I know this thread is 24 years old, but in my search, I frequently found this page, but the answer wasn't as easy to find.
    So for those that come looking behind me, here is the answer:

    The official FAI IGC File format document as of 2022 can be found here: https://www.fai.org/sites/default/files/igc_fr_specification_2022_with_al7_2022-1-31.pdf

    New versions (if/when they become available), should be here: https://www.fai.org/igc-documents
    then go to Flight Recorders, and then under IGC-approved Flight Recorders - Technical Specification
