Just to provide a contrasting point of view - perhaps we don't need to 'fix'
this until we're really in a position to decide that it is broken (and I don't
think, right now, that we are).
We could start by considering what these records exist for, and hence what they
are presumably there to
Well said Simon,
It is certainly true that we have no information as to how much
assistance has been given to any other pilot who holds an exiting
record, at any level.
One of the problems with records is that if you change the rules under
which they are flown you effectively invalidate all

Now that must be a record: two simultaneous claims on the same day in

One would have though that, as In most competitive sports, the
performance completed first (even by only a few seconds) would
establish the new record. The second performance would then have to
exceed the speed of the first by at least 1kph - which it obviously
did not - for it to establish a
The flight was a pairs-flying exercise and they started and finished
