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 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%

48 pilots flew out of 48 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 47 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 35.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 33.2 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 70.1 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 48 pilots flew; you flew 5.0 km, further than 0 of them. The day averaged 33.2 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.100%

The fastest pilot took 1:56:14 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: 15 of 48 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.31

distance 529.1 · time 329.7 · leading 82.4 · arrival 58.9

The share each component takes of the day

distance 52.9% · time 33.0% · leading 8.2% · arrival 5.9%

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

Flew 0.0 km, less than the 5.0 km minimum — scored as the minimum distance.
Task distance70.1 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 class70.1 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance18.9 pts

0.5 × (5.0 km ÷ 70.1 km) × 529.1 = 18.9

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed78.3 pts

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

Time points

0 of 329.7 pts

How this works

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

Leading points

0 of 82.4 pts

How this works

Leading points reward flying out front during the speed section. A manual flight has no tracklog to measure leading from, so it earns none.0 pts

Arrival points

0 of 58.9 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
15 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).
