Could this flight be qualified for a FAI record attempt if documented prior?

 

Answer is NO.  The total length of AOPA-Japan route is 31,824km, which falls short of 36,787.559km requested in section 5.3.6.1 of the FAI Sporting Code.  Baker Lake(Canada) CYBK’s latitude of 64 deg 17 min North was close to the 66°33' limit of polar area avoidance rule required in section 5.3.6.2.
