The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

How this works

Start time taken: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §9.2.4.1).13:15:00
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.

How this works

Launch validity — the day counts for less if much of the field never got into the air.100%

14 pilots flew out of 14 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 14 pilots are in the air.

Distance validity — the day counts for less if the field as a whole did not get far.100%

Measured against a 40.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 42.5 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 60.5 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 14 pilots flew; you flew 60.5 km, further than 4 of them. The day averaged 42.5 km past the 5.0 km minimum, against a 40.0 km nominal distance.
Time validity — the day counts for less if the fastest pilot got round much quicker than the task was meant to take.100%

The fastest pilot took 2:32:21 against a nominal task time of 1:55:00 — the task took as long as it was meant to, so no time devaluation applies.

Points on offer for the day1000 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 1.00 × 1.00 = 1000

Split between the components: 10 of 14 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.71

distance 370.8 · time 629.2

The share each component takes of the day

distance 37.1% · time 62.9%

Leading weight follows the FAI S7F 2026 §11 formula: 26% of the non-distance weight (the task's Leading Time Ratio) goes to leading when someone makes goal, and all of it when nobody does.

Distance points

370.8 of 370.8 pts

Full distance — one of 10 pilots in goal

How this works

Task distance60.5 km

The optimized task line — the shortest legal way round the turnpoints.

Scored distance60.5 km

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

Best distance in class60.5 km
Made goal — full available distance points.370.8 pts
Distance points are a straight line from nothing to the best distance flown — every dot is a pilot, sitting exactly on it. You flew 60.5 km of the class best 60.5 km, worth 370.8 of 370.8.

Time points

623.9 of 629.2 pts

2nd fastest of 10 through the speed section

How this works

Your speed section time2:32:39

Timed from your 13:15:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §9.4) — you crossed the start at 13:15:11.

Fastest time in class (among pilots who made goal)2:32:21

Set by Zane Priebbenow — you were 0:18 behind.

Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time623.9 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^5⁄6) = 0.9915; × 629.2 available = 623.9 (times in hours)

The curve is the time-points formula — every dot is a pilot, sitting exactly on it. You were 0:18 behind the fastest time, which cost 5.3 of the 629.2 time points on offer.

Total

994.7 of 1000 pts

How this works

Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties994.7 pts

round(370.8 + 623.9, 1 dp) = 994.7
