The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

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%
Points on offer for the day1000 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 1.00 × 1.00 = 1000

Fastest time in class1:52:25
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time353.9 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^2⁄3) = 0.7073; × 500.4 available = 353.9 (times in hours)

Arrival points

36.7 pts
Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.36.7 pts

Total

818.7 pts
Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties818.7 pts

428.2 + 353.9 + 36.7 ≈ 818.7 — the points above are shown rounded to 0.1; the total is rounded from their exact sum.

Track data cleaning

1 of 4566 GPS fixes (<0.1%) carried an implausible altitude and were repaired before analysis — flagged by vertical-speed limits (no barometric channel to cross-check). Positions and times are never altered. How data cleaning works
