You submit the claim to the badge chairman of the Soaring Association of Canada (Walter Weir) who reviews the claim and provides a recommendation to the SSA Badge Lady, who makes the final decision. If you have a logger, submitting a second floppy of the .igc file is a good idea. All the necessary documentation (standard FAI claim forms, etc) used in Canada are on the SAC webpage, at www.sac.ca., under SAC services link, then documents link. I did the reverse, two badge legs flown in the US, and my claims went from Judy to Walter, in very short order... I greatly appreciate the additional effort on both their parts. Really, it's no big deal for the pilot claiming the task; you get the bonus of two experienced sets of eyes confirming your accomplishment. Dan High Flights Soaring Club Colorado Springs |
