The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

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.

Start time taken: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).14:00:00

Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 100% of a perfect day, so 1000 of 1000 points were available.

Launch validity — did enough registered pilots launch?100%

Distance validity — did the field fly far enough relative to the nominal distance?100%

Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?100%

Distance points

390.9 pts

Scored distance22.8 km

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

Best distance in class22.8 km

Made goal — full available distance points.390.9 pts

Time points

426.4 pts

Time points use the 5⁄6 speed-fraction exponent (the current FAI S7F, S7F §11.2).

Your speed section time1:51:53

Timed from your 14:00:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 15:06:10.

Fastest time in class1:51:53

Fastest through the speed section — full available time points.426.4 pts

Leading points

106.6 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.106.6 pts

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

Arrival points

76.1 pts

Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.76.1 pts
