The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

How this works

Crossed the start cylinder boundary 5 times. The scored start is the latest crossing from which the flight still makes its best run along the course — re-starting supersedes an earlier start, while simply flying back through the cylinder later in the task changes nothing.
The 12:42:37 crossing is the scored start — the last one made, so it supersedes every earlier crossing.
Start time taken: gate 2 of 6 — the last start gate at or before the crossing. The speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §9.2.4.1).12:30:00

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 89.58% of a perfect day, so 895.8 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%

48 pilots flew out of 48 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 47 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 35.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 45.4 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 58.4 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 48 pilots flew; you flew 47.5 km, further than 10 of them. The day averaged 45.4 km past the 5.0 km minimum, against a 35.0 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.89.58%

The fastest pilot took 1:02:57 against a nominal task time of 1:30:00 — 70% of nominal.

Points on offer for the day895.8 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 1.00 × 0.8958 = 895.8

Split between the components: 35 of 48 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.73

distance 330.7 · time 565.2

The share each component takes of the day

distance 36.9% · time 63.1%

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

38th furthest of 48

How this works

Task distance58.4 km

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

Scored distance47.5 km

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

Best distance in class58.4 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance134.5 pts

0.5 × (47.5 km ÷ 58.4 km) × 330.7 = 134.5

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed160.3 pts

The difficulty curve is built from where the whole field landed out (FAI S7F §12.1.1).

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 47.5 km of the class best 58.4 km, worth 294.8 of 330.7.

Time points

How this works

Time points are only awarded to pilots who reach the end of the speed section.
