Which behaviours went with better ranks
Each row is one behaviour, compared against the published ranks. Select a row to plot it against rank.
| Behaviour | Strength | What it means | Pilots measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| How round and consistent the circles were | too few pilots | ||
| Share of race time spent hunting for the next climb | some pattern | ||
| Low saves dug out from the bottom of the band | some pattern | ||
| Time to core thermals | some pattern | ||
| Glide speed between climbs | could be chance | ||
| Time spent flying with a gaggle | could be chance | ||
| Climbs joined on another pilot's marker | could be chance | ||
| Share of the flight spent in air that wasn’t sinking | could be chance | ||
| Share of lift turned in that was kept as a climb | could be chance | ||
| Climbing faster than the pilots sharing the thermal | could be chance | ||
| How low the pilot gets between climbs | could be chance | ||
| Climb rate at thermal exit | could be chance | ||
| How much of the thermal the pilot climbed before leaving it | could be chance |
1 behaviour was measured on fewer than 8 pilots — too few to tell either way.
