Notable Flights are recognized flights that Pioneered an XC route:
- Furthest flight in a given flight path or route
- 1st flight in a given direction/ route that pioneered the route
- 1st flight in a given direction/ route to reach a milestone or prior hurdle on a given route
To qualify for Site Records:
- The full flight must be a Clean Flight without flight violations. Any flight that results in a documented legal infraction (FAA or local law enforcement), will disqualify that flight from being a site record. Simply, flights violating air space will be disqualified and not scored for the SDHGPA XC contest or Site Record listing.
- Flights after 2012 must have tracklogs submitted to Leonardo
