If you simply add OLC to your list of events you never have to worry about the geographic limitation.








I suppose that would work until someone at my FSDO decides that OLC is not a 'race' in the same sense as what is called a 'race' in my operating limitations written in 1998.




Your operating limitations should say something about FAI and SSA records and awards. SSA recognizes OLC.

That is, given the date of your operating limitations. FAA Order 8130.2 has omitted those from the lexicon for the past few revisions.

The new draft order is available here. Comment period closed Feb 7.
