And the owner of the only one refuses to put
his flights on the OLC since he does not agree with the rule that imposes
to file the flight within midnight of every Tuesday otherwise flight is
invalid. The longest flight ever made in the Alps (1.350km) had been
refused because of that rule which is simply impossible to fulfil when you
outland on Tuesday evening! FAI requires 7 days and I see no reason for
not implementing this rule.

I must agree with the poster on this point. I always assumed that a flight
ending on Monday or Tuesday could be posted any time up until Tuesday the
following week, ie 7 or 8 days after landing. If see no reason why this
should not be changed, maybe for OLC 2007/2008.

For OLC 2007, the deadline will be changed to 2400 local time on
Tuesday, instead of 2400z to allow Western Hemisphere pilots more time
to claim. The Tuesday deadline is for flights through Monday. Flights
on Tuesday have until the following Tuesday to be claimed.
