Resources

• Latest IGC technical spec. The IGC file specification is provided by FAI and IGC standarization committes and should be used as a reference. See section A9 for the example of IGC file.
• An example IGC files can be downloaded from XContest.org, eg. a short flight
• IGC Waypoint format (useful for fields specs)

Testing

Tests rely on the golden files. To update the golden files, run the tests with the -update flag:

go test -update .
