Not sure what the FAI rules are on records if there are pilots of two
diffferent nationalities in a two seater, anyone know?



IIRC, a World Record claim should be approved, first by the NAC
competent for the country where the flight was made; second, by the
NAC of the record claimer.

If one of the two NACs refuses approval, the claim can't be approved
by the FAI. Thus, it's up to the two NACs involved, and their rules,
to allow for a mixed nationality crew to perform world record flights

It seems for example that the German NAC has nothing against a mixed
crew (see current WR list), while a few other nations require both
crew members to be of the same nationality (AFAIK, France).

Just read through the national rules, search for this item, and check
that the wording is compatible with FAI rules.
