The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

How this works

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%

35 pilots flew out of 35 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 34 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 50.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 49.4 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 75.7 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 35 pilots flew; you flew 27.9 km, further than 7 of them. The day averaged 49.4 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.100%

The fastest pilot took 1:52:25 against a nominal task time of 1:30:00 — 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: 17 of 35 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.49

distance 428.2 · time 500.4 · arrival 71.5

The share each component takes of the day

distance 42.8% · time 50.0% · arrival 7.1%

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 distance75.7 km

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

Scored distance27.9 km

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

Best distance in class75.7 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance78.9 pts

0.5 × (27.9 km ÷ 75.7 km) × 428.2 = 78.9

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed116.5 pts

The difficulty curve is built from where the whole field landed out (FAI S7F §12.1.1).

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 27.9 km of the class best 75.7 km, worth 195.3 of 428.2.

Time points

0 of 500.4 pts

How this works

Time points are only awarded to pilots who reach the end of the speed section.

Arrival points

0 of 71.5 pts

How this works

Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.0 pts
17 pilots reached the end of the speed section on this task; the points scale with where in that group you crossed it (FAI S7F §13.5).
