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).12:45:00

Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 100% of a perfect day, so 1000 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?100%

Scored distance10.9 km

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

Best distance in class10.9 km

Made goal — full available distance points.513.6 pts

Time points

340.5 pts

Time points use the 5⁄6 speed-fraction exponent (the current FAI S7F, S7F §11.2).

Your speed section time2:23:28

Timed from your 12:45:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 14:34:17.

Fastest time in class2:23:28

Fastest through the speed section — full available time points.340.5 pts

Leading points

85.1 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.85.1 pts

Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).

Arrival points

60.8 pts

Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.60.8 pts
