The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Start time taken: gate 1 of 6 — the last start gate at or before the crossing. The speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).14:15:00

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 88.64% of a perfect day, so 886.4 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?88.64%

Track data cleaning

3 of 805 GPS fixes (0.4%) 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
