Default FAI ratifies records of illegal flights.

I trullly get tired of the nick pickers. If some guy makes a 1000k and he is one minute late on the official sunset, give me a break. He is not violating true safety and we all know many many many past record distance flights, guys actually landed in the dark. They were ratified back then. Now with gps tracking, its a handy thing, but also becomes something of an unnecesary handicap.
