The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

How this works

Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 85.38% of a perfect day, so 853.8 of 1000 points were available.

How this works

Launch validity — the day counts for less if much of the field never got into the air.100%

13 pilots flew out of 13 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 13 pilots are in the air.

Distance validity — the day counts for less if the field as a whole did not get far.100%

Measured against a 20.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 12.5 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 28.6 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 13 pilots flew; you flew 28.6 km, further than 8 of them. The day averaged 12.5 km past the 5.0 km minimum, against a 20.0 km nominal distance.
Time validity — the day counts for less if the fastest pilot got round much quicker than the task was meant to take.85.38%

The fastest pilot took 57:40 against a nominal task time of 1:30:00 — 64.1% of nominal.

Points on offer for the day853.8 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 1.00 × 0.8538 = 853.8

Split between the components: 5 of 13 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.38

distance 409.5 · time 444.3

The share each component takes of the day

distance 48.0% · time 52.0%

Leading weight follows the FAI S7F 2026 §11 formula: 18% of the non-distance weight (the task's Leading Time Ratio) goes to leading.

Distance points

409.5 of 409.5 pts

Full distance — one of 5 pilots in goal

How this works

Task distance28.6 km

The optimized task line — the shortest legal way round the turnpoints.

Scored distance28.6 km

Measured along the optimized task line, up to the furthest point on course.

Best distance in class28.6 km
Made goal — full available distance points.409.5 pts
The curve is the distance-points formula, half of it built from where the field landed out (FAI S7F §12.1.1) — every dot is a pilot, sitting exactly on it. Its steepest stretches are the ones fewest pilots got past, so flying through one is worth more than the same distance somewhere easy. You flew 28.6 km of the class best 28.6 km, worth 409.5 of 409.5.

Time points

212.8 of 444.3 pts

3rd fastest of 5 through the speed section

How this works

Your speed section time1:24:35
Fastest time in class57:40

Set by Andy Schmidt — you were 26:54 behind.

Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time212.8 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^5⁄6) = 0.479; × 444.3 available = 212.8 (times in hours)

The curve is the time-points formula — every dot is a pilot, sitting exactly on it. You were 26:54 behind the fastest time, which cost 231.5 of the 444.3 time points on offer.

Total

622.4 of 853.8 pts

How this works

Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties622.4 pts

409.5 + 212.8 ≈ 622.4 — the points above are shown rounded to 0.1; the total is rounded from their exact sum.

Where the points went
