The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

How this works

Start time taken: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §9.2.4.1).13:45:00

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 79.34% of a perfect day, so 793.4 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%

47 pilots flew out of 47 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 46 pilots are in the air.

Distance validity — the day counts for less if the field as a whole did not get far.79.34%

Measured against a 35.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 19.0 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 64.9 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 47 pilots flew; you flew 56.3 km, further than 43 of them. The day averaged 19.0 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.100%

Nobody completed the speed section, so the spec compares distance instead: the best distance of 64.9 km against the 35.0 km nominal distance.

Points on offer for the day793.4 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 0.7934 × 1.00 = 793.4

Nobody reached the end of the speed section, so this task offered no time or arrival points at all (FAI S7F §11).714 pts

Only distance and leading points could be won: 714 + 0 = 714 of the 793.4 the day was worth. The rest is not shared out to the other components — the specification leaves it unawarded.

Split between the components: 0 of 47 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.00

distance 714 · time 0

The share each component takes of the day

distance 90.0% · time 0.0%

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

Task distance75.8 km

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

Scored distance56.3 km

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

Best distance in class64.9 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance309.6 pts

0.5 × (56.317 km ÷ 64.931 km) × 714 = 309.6

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed346 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 56.3 km of the class best 64.9 km, worth 655.6 of 714.

Time points

0 pts

How this works

Nobody in this class reached the end of the speed section, so the task offered no time points to anyone (FAI S7F §11). Distance and leading points were all that could be won.
