The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

How this works

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 27.33% of a perfect day, so 273.3 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%

3 pilots flew out of 3 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 3 pilots are in the air.

Distance validity — the day counts for less if the field as a whole did not get far.49.88%

Measured against a 25.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 6.5 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 14.4 km.

Time validity — the day counts for less if the fastest pilot got round much quicker than the task was meant to take.54.8%

The fastest pilot took 33:37 against a nominal task time of 1:30:00 — 37.4% of nominal.

Points on offer for the day273.3 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 0.4988 × 0.548 = 273.3

Split between the components: 2 of 3 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.67

distance 103.2 · time 170.2

The share each component takes of the day

distance 37.7% · time 62.3%

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 distance14.4 km

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

Scored distance5.7 km

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

Best distance in class14.4 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance20.4 pts

0.5 × (5.7 km ÷ 14.4 km) × 103.2 = 20.4

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed51.6 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 5.7 km of the class best 14.4 km, worth 71.9 of 103.2.

Time points

0 of 170.2 pts

How this works

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