The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

How this works

Crossed the start cylinder boundary 7 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.
The 13:40:42 crossing is the scored start. By the 13:54:41 crossing the flight had already reached TP2 (KANGCK), so treating that as a re-start would mean flying the course again from there — a shorter, later run that scores less.
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 9.68% of a perfect day, so 96.8 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.92.96%

25 pilots flew out of 31 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 30 pilots are in the air.

Distance validity — the day counts for less if the field as a whole did not get far.10.94%

Measured against a 50.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 3.2 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 26.8 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 25 pilots flew; you flew 26.8 km, further than 24 of them. The day averaged 3.2 km past the 5.0 km minimum, against a 50.0 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.95.23%

The fastest pilot took 1:12:31 against a nominal task time of 1:30:00 — 80.6% of nominal.

Split between the components: 1 of 25 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.04

distance 80.9 · time 13.9 · arrival 2

The share each component takes of the day

distance 83.6% · time 14.3% · arrival 2.0%

Leading weight follows the FAI S7F 2026 §11 formula: 18% of the non-distance weight (the task's Leading Time Ratio) goes to leading.

How this works

Task distance26.8 km

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

Scored distance26.8 km

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

Made goal — full available distance points.80.9 pts
The curve is the distance-points formula, half of it built from where the field landed out (FAI S7F §12.1.1) — every dot is a pilot, sitting exactly on it. Its steepest stretches are the ones fewest pilots got past, so flying through one is worth more than the same distance somewhere easy. You flew 26.8 km of the class best 26.8 km, worth 80.9 of 80.9.

How this works

Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.2 pts
Reached the end of the speed section 1st of 114:53:14

The arrival order is by the clock at the end of the speed section, not by speed — an earlier start gate can put a slower pilot ahead of a faster one here.

Arrival points fall off steeply with each rank2 pts

arrival ratio = 1 − (1 − 1) ÷ 1 = 1.00; arrival factor = 0.2 + 0.037·r + 0.13·r² + 0.633·r³ = 1.000; × 2 available = 2

First to the end of the speed section — the full available arrival points.
