The flight

A manual flight report — no tracklog.

Manual flight — recorded by an official for a pilot with no tracklog (FAI S7F §9.2.2). The distance is computed from the last turnpoint reached and the landing point, exactly as a real track at the same place would score.
Last turnpoint reached: Takeoff — ELLIOT

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 66.471% of a perfect day, so 664.7 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%

26 pilots flew out of 26 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 25 pilots are in the air.

Distance validity — the day counts for less if the field as a whole did not get far.71.605%

Measured against a 35.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 15.1 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 46.0 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 26 pilots flew; you flew 5.0 km, further than 0 of them. The day averaged 15.1 km past the 5.0 km minimum, against a 35.0 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.92.83%

The fastest pilot took 1:07:56 against a nominal task time of 1:30:00 — 75.5% of nominal.

Points on offer for the day664.7 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 0.71605 × 0.9283 = 664.7

Split between the components: 7 of 26 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.27

distance 375.2 · time 289.5

The share each component takes of the day

distance 56.4% · time 43.6%

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

Distance points

Equal 14th furthest of 26

How this works

Flew 0.0 km, less than the 5.0 km minimum — scored as the minimum distance.
Task distance46.0 km

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

Scored distance5.0 km

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

Best distance in class46.0 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance20.4 pts

0.5 × (5.0 km ÷ 46.0 km) × 375.2 = 20.4

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed120.3 pts

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

Time points

0 of 289.5 pts

How this works

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

Total

140.7 of 664.7 pts

How this works

Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties140.7 pts

round(140.7 + 0.0, 1 dp) = 140.7
