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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Climbing faster than the pilots sharing the thermal | too few pilots | ||
| How much of the thermal the pilot climbed before leaving it | too few pilots | ||
| How low the pilot gets between climbs | too few pilots | ||
| Climb rate at thermal exit | too few pilots | ||
| Time spent flying with a gaggle | too few pilots | ||
| Share of race time spent hunting for the next climb | too few pilots | ||
| How round and consistent the circles were | too few pilots | ||
| Share of the height gain made outside thermals | too few pilots | ||
| Climbs joined on another pilot's marker | too few pilots | ||
| Share of lift turned in that was kept as a climb | too few pilots | ||
| Glide speed between climbs | too few pilots | ||
| Final glide committed to when leaving the last climb | too few pilots | ||
| Share of the flight spent in air that wasn’t sinking | too few pilots | ||
| Time to core thermals | too few pilots |
