The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

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.

Start time taken: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).13:00:00

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

Best distance in class22.2 km

Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance59.6 pts

0.5 × (5.87 km ÷ 22.16 km) × 450.2 = 59.6

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed130.7 pts

The difficulty curve is built from where the whole field landed out (FAI S7F §11.1.1).

Time points

0 pts

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

Leading points

0 pts

Leading points reward flying out front during the speed section — the pilot with the best leading coefficient takes all available leading points, others fall off with the gap.0 pts

Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).

Arrival points

0 pts

Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.0 pts
