If you are at all likely to attempt a World Record or a Continental Record, your Sporting Licence needs to be registered with the FAI PRIOR to the attempt.
This rule came into effect in October 2014. If you have recently flown in the Australian Team in an International event, your sporting licence SHOULD already be registered. You can check your registration at this link: http://www.fai.org/about-fai/fai-sporting-licences >> If your Sporting Licence expiry date has passed, I suspect that you are automatically removed from the list - I have just emailed FAI about that because my registration has disappeared. >> I can arrange for this registration to be done. I would like to have a whole batch to submit at one time, so if you would like me to do this for you before the summer season ramps up, please give me the following information asap: Licence number / valid from / valid to / Air Sport Discipline / First Name / Last Name / Gender / Date of Birth / Nationality / Country of Residence / Address including Country / email address and a phone number (specify Home, office or mobile). I need all these details because they have to be entered into a form for upload to the FAI database. >> Quite a few people flying Australian Records find they have achieved a Continental Record or even a World Record as well, so even if your ambitions only extend to Australian Records it could be a good idea for you to register your Sporting Licence rather than risk a claim being rejected. PLEASE NOTE there is no requirement to register your sporting licence for Australian record claims or for badge flights. >> Pam Kurstjens-Hawkins Records Officer Australia
