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.
Start time taken: gate 2 of 4 — 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).13:50:00
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 90.17% of a perfect day, so 901.7 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?90.17%

Time points use the 5⁄6 speed-fraction exponent (the current FAI S7F, S7F §11.2).
Your speed section time1:18:21

Timed from your 13:50:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 13:50:25.

Fastest time in class (among pilots who made goal)1:03:47
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time352.4 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^5⁄6) = 0.7004; × 503.2 available = 352.4 (times in hours)

Track data cleaning

2 of 5672 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
