Landed out at 5.0 km — 38 points

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: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).02:30:00

Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance9.2 pts

0.5 × (5.0 km ÷ 22.5 km) × 83 = 9.2

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed28.7 pts

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

Time points
