8.7 Viewing the Contents of an IGC File
To view the raw data contained in the IGC file, download the instrument with a flight evaluation program such
FlyChart or SeeYou, save the flight as an IGC file and then open the desired flight file with a text editor. Or if
technical analysis of data is desired, the IGC file can be imported into a spreadsheet program such as Excel. It
should be noted that any changes made to an IGC file will void the Digital Signature contained in that file and
created by the instrument to insure against manipulation. Consequently an IGC file that has been altered will not
be accepted by scoring software. The steps for importing an IGC file to Excel are:
1. Select the Import command from File>Menu in Excel.
2. Select the Text file radio button in the dialog box.
3. Browse to the desired file, make sure All Files is enabled and click Open.
4. Select Fixed Width as the data type and click Next.
5. Set column breaks at 1, 7, 14, 15, 23, 24, 25, 30 and 35, and click Next. (see figure at right).
