State and National records question

[Gary Emerson]

I know I've seen this before, but can't find it. Somewhere there is a
document that states by what amount a State or National record must be
exceeded by to set a new record.

Anyone know where that might be?

Thanks

Gary

The quick short answer is FAI Sporting Code Section 3 paragraph: 3.1.4

If you are serious about this, visit http://www.fai.org/gliding/ and
download the Sporting Code ( http://www.fai.org/sporting_code/sc3.asp
).

You should also get the
General Section: (

)

OK, either I'm clueless (which is possible) or what I'm looking for is
different.

If there is a US record for distance, say 1000 miles, then I think you
would have to exceed 1000 miles by more than an inch to earn a new
record. Seems like I read it was something like 10Km or 1%??

I don't think this is spelled out in the above links.

Anyone else know where I can find what I'm looking for?

See

3.0.4 World record margins

A new record claim must exceed the current value by 1 kilometre for
distance, 1 km/h for speed, and 3% for altitude.

It used to be 10 km for distance, 2 km/hr for speed.
