The flight
What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.
Crossed the start cylinder boundary 5 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 2 — 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).04:00:00

0.5 × (43.7 km ÷ 80.3 km) × 765 = 208.1
Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed231.2 pts
The difficulty curve is built from where the whole field landed out (FAI S7F §11.1.1).
