The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

How this works

Crossed the start cylinder boundary 3 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 15:35:21 crossing is the scored start. By the 17:30:53 crossing the flight had already reached TP5 (TINTAL), so treating that as a re-start would mean flying the course again from there — a shorter, later run that scores less.
Start time taken: gate 5 of 8 — 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).15:30:00

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 100% of a perfect day, so 1000 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%

32 pilots flew out of 32 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 31 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 44.2 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 78.8 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 32 pilots flew; you flew 58.3 km, further than 17 of them. The day averaged 44.2 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%

The fastest pilot took 1:37:55 against a nominal task time of 1:30:00 — the task took as long as it was meant to, so no time devaluation applies.

Points on offer for the day1000 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 1.00 × 1.00 = 1000

Split between the components: 12 of 32 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.38

distance 485.6 · time 514.4

The share each component takes of the day

distance 48.6% · time 51.4%

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

How this works

Task distance78.8 km

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

Scored distance58.3 km

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

Best distance in class78.8 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance179.4 pts

0.5 × (58.27 km ÷ 78.85 km) × 485.6 = 179.4

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed217.9 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 58.3 km of the class best 78.8 km, worth 397.4 of 485.6.

Time points

How this works

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