I’m front-page news. The lead story in my state’s big daily newspaper. On Page 1, above the fold. Where the Albuquerque Journal announced that my plane and I have “earned a spot in aviation history.”
Any Pilot Can Set a Speed Record
Key Takeaways:
- Setting an aviation world speed record is achievable for any licensed pilot, even in common or vintage aircraft, as records are categorized by aircraft type for fair competition.
- The process requires three main components: a licensed pilot, a suitable aircraft, and extensive, precise paperwork managed by the National Aeronautic Association (NAA) and Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).
- Key steps include obtaining an FAI Sporting License, securing an official sanction for the attempt, arranging independent observers, and meticulously submitting all required forms and documentation for eventual ratification by the NAA and FAI.
