The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Start time taken: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).14:00:00

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 55.81% of a perfect day, so 558.1 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?55.81%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?100%
Points on offer for the day558.1 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 0.5581 × 1.00 = 558.1

Split between the components by the goal ratio

Distance points

216.4 pts
Scored distance16.1 km

Measured along the optimized task line, up to the furthest point on course.

Best distance in class67.6 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance55.2 pts

0.5 × (16.07 km ÷ 67.63 km) × 464.5 = 55.2

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed161.2 pts

The difficulty curve is built from where the whole field landed out (FAI S7F §11.1.1).

Time points

0 pts
Time points are only awarded to pilots who reach the end of the speed section.

Leading points

0 pts
Leading points reward flying out front during the speed section — the pilot with the best leading coefficient takes all available leading points, others fall off with the gap.0 pts
Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).

Arrival points

0 pts
Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.0 pts

Track data cleaning

2 of 5177 GPS fixes (<0.1%) 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
