The flight
What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.
Crossed the start cylinder boundary 3 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.
Crossed the start 0:12 before the first start gate opened at 14:00:00 — an early start ("jumping the gun", FAI S7F §12.2). The speed-section clock runs from the first gate.
