    1-26 Regional Record Rules (as of February 2007)
----------------------------------------------------------

FAI Rules for World and National records apply except as modified herein.
SC refers to the current edition of the FAI Sporting Code, Sec. 3 - Gliders

1. CLASSES and TYPES of 1-26 Records.

1.1 The CLASSES of 1-26 Records are as follows:
  a.  OPEN:  Any pilot.
  b.  FEMININE:  Any female pilot.
  c.  SILVER:  Any pilot who has not made a prior 300km flight, including for
        Gold Distance, the 1-26 Sweepstakes or On-Line Contest.
  d.  JUNIOR:  Any pilot less than 26 years old.
  e.  When the pilot meets the requirements for more than one class
      and the achievement exceeds the current record of one or more
      other classes, the record shall be awarded for all classes which apply.
1.2 The following TYPES of 1-26 Records are recognized for each of the classes:
  a.  Distance in a straight line.
  b.  Distance to a Goal - Distance in a straight line to a Goal (SC 1.1.14).
  c.  Out and Return Distance - Distance in a straight line, to a pre-declared
        Turnpoint (SC 1.1.10) and return to the Start Point (SC 1.1.8).
  d.  Gain of Height.
  e.  Absolute Altitude.
  f.  Speed over a triangular course of 100 km.  (62.14 mi.)
  g.  Speed over a triangular course of 200 km.  (124.28 mi.)
  h.  Speed over a triangular course of 300 km.  (186.42 mi.)
  i.  Speed over an Out and Return course of 150 km.  (93.21 mi.)
  j.  Speed over an Out and Return course of 300 km.  (186.42 mi.)

1.3 More than one type record may be claimed for a single flight.  Only
    one speed record may be claimed for a single flight.   A claim
    for Out and Return Distance cannot be combined with a claim for Distance
    in a straight line or with Distance to a Goal.

1.4 Courses for speed flights must be at least the distance of the record
    being claimed but less than the next course for a similar type
    record.  No side of a triangle may be less than 28% of the total
    course length flown.  Two or three turnpoints may be used for a speed
    triangle (SC 1.4.6(b) (i),(ii)).

1.5 Separate records are recognized for each of the 12 SSA Regions and 
    for Canada.  The Start Point (SC 1.1.8) for record flights must be 
    within the Region.   There is no requirement that the pilot be a 
    resident of the Region. 

1.6 Measurements of altitude will be in feet, distance in statute miles and
    speed in mph.  

1.7 Flight verification methods must be those allowable for FAI badges.

1.8 (cf. SC 4.4.7) The barograph used to substantiate any part of a flight 
          claim must have been calibrated either
  a. within 12 months prior to the flight or, for IGC-approved electronic 
     barographs and Flight Recorders, 24 months; or
  b. one month after the flight or, for
     IGC-approved electronic barographs and Flight Recorders, two months.

1.9 For flights of less than 100 km (62.14 mi), the loss of altitude 
    between the starting point and the finish point must not exceed 1%
    of the distance flown.  For greater distances, if the loss of height
    is greater than 3281 feet, the distance certified shall be reduced by
    40 times the excess over 3281 feet.


2.    General Rules.

2.1   The pilot must be a member of both the SSA and the 1-26 Association.
2.2   Applications for records must be made on the official application
      form within 30 days of the flight and the Association Record Keeper
      must be notified in writing within 10 days after the flight that a
      claim is pending.
2.3   Applications must be accompanied by the documentation appropriate for
      the flight unless it is on file with the SSA
      for the awarding of an FAI Award or for a State or higher record.  In
      such cases the pilot must provide proof to the Record Keeper that the
      SSA has approved the claimed award.
2.4   A record will not be awarded if:
      a. An accident occurred during the flight which rendered the 1-26
              un-airworthy or required the pilot to be hospitalized.
      b. The FAA alleges and proves that the flight violated FARs.
2.5   Canadian members should substitute "SAC" wherever "SSA" appears.
