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).13:30:00
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 59.0 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 68.7 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 14 pilots flew; you flew 68.7 km, further than 5 of them. The day averaged 59.0 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 2:20:30 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: 9 of 14 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.64

distance 381.6 · time 618.4

The share each component takes of the day

distance 38.2% · time 61.8%

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

381.6 of 381.6 pts

Full distance — one of 9 pilots in goal

How this works

Task distance68.7 km

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

Scored distance68.7 km

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

Best distance in class68.7 km
Made goal — full available distance points.381.6 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 68.7 km of the class best 68.7 km, worth 381.6 of 381.6.

Time points

613.7 of 618.4 pts

3rd fastest of 9 through the speed section

How this works

Your speed section time2:20:46

Timed from your 13:30:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §9.4) — you crossed the start at 13:30:22.

Fastest time in class (among pilots who made goal)2:20:30

Set by Kari Ellis — you were 0:15 behind.

Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time613.7 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^5⁄6) = 0.9924; × 618.4 available = 613.7 (times in hours)

The curve is the time-points formula — every dot is a pilot, sitting exactly on it. You were 0:15 behind the fastest time, which cost 4.7 of the 618.4 time points on offer.

Total

995.3 of 1000 pts

How this works

Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties995.3 pts

round(381.6 + 613.7, 1 dp) = 995.3
