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.
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time157.4 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^2⁄3) = 0.7168; × 219.6 available = 157.4 (times in hours)

Arrival points

12.3 pts
Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.12.3 pts
