"ChuckSlusarczyk" wrote in message ... snip Among Campbell's many other lofty accomplishments are his 1981 Ultralight World Record High Altitude flight to 21,210 feet over Lakehurst, New Jersey Really? Wouldn't the FAI know about it? A google search "FAI Campbell" comes up with a Sue Campbell, but I didn't see a James. What am I missing? Al G |

All official aviation related world records are maintained by the FAI. You
can view records at http://www.fai.org/records When viewing the link, the first thing I noticed is that the FAI does not have an "Ultralight" category. However, if you check airplanes under 300 kg/piston powered, you will not find him as the current or historical holder of the an altitude record. The same is true for the Microlight category.

I just noticed Steve Fossett's glider altitude record flight does not appear
in http://www.fai.org/records. However, I am sure it will be there in the near future.

The NAA has some aviation-related records that FAI doesn't keep track of.
Guinness World Records has others as well. That's easy to verify. "Wayne Paul" wrote in message ...

FAI only records the records that it recognizes. For example, FAI does not recognize microlight records for speed over a recognized course, but the NAA does recognize those.
