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.
