3.2 Time Limits on Record Claims

3.2.1 Notice of a claim for a world record must be submitted by either the NAC or the Official Observer controlling the attempt and must be received by the FAI within seven days of its completion as a record attempt. In exceptional circumstances, the president of the IGC may grant an extension. Telephone, fax, e-mail, and similar types of notification are acceptable. (GS 6.8.4)

3.2.2 A world record claim must be supported by a file containing all the information and certification necessary to prove that the conditions for a record have been met. The NAC shall forward this documentation to reach the FAI within 120 days of the date of the flight, after having approved it as a national record, unless an extension of time has been authorised by the IGC President (see GS 6.8.2).

NOTE At the IGC meeting 2004, it was decided that at some future date verification of badge flights will require the use of a flight recorder. Other means of verification shown in this edition of the
Sporting Code will no longer be accepted. October 2004.
