Your record flights may qualify for additional records. If you think
you fit this category, you may want to nudge your SSA State Record
Keeper who has been sent the referenced attachment.
From the committee chair:
"As you're probably aware, Sporting Code Section 3 ("SC3") effective 1
October 2007 removed all prior limits on the number of record claims
submitted for a single flight. The pertinent rule is SC3
3.0.2, which now reads, "Any record or records may be claimed for
which the requirements are met."
In a decision reached late last month, the SSA badge & Record
Committee voted to adopt this rule as-is for US National Records, but
amend it somewhat for State level records.
Specifically, ONE flight may yield any number of DISTANCE records in
various combinations of Category, Class and Type, but SPEED records of
various Types may be claimed only at the published standard distance
immediately less than the distance flown. (Please see the attached for
details)
Now, in the interest of fairness to State Record Pilots, State Record
Keepers' help is needed to get caught up. Each State Record Keeper is
asked to review his/her files, determining which pilots who submitted
claims since 1 October 2007 may be eligible for one or more additional
records. The attached is intended to help State Record Keepers pin
this down. State Record Keepers are asked to contact these pilots
and...
(1) advise them their flight(s) can be re-evaluated for multiple
records
(2) provide interested pilots a list of CURRENT records or refer them
to these at SSA.org
(3) ask interested pilots to review the record list and submit NEW
applications for any additional records they wish to claim. (The
application form alone is sufficient, assuming flight documentation
from the original submission is in the State Record Keeper's files.)
We strongly advise the Record Keeper to provide a date certain for
receipt of any application - the Badge & Record Committee recommends
30 days."
