Task modifiers |
| Not all tasks are considered equal, and some days will need to be devalued. The
validity of a day can be represented by the difference in score between
first and last place. If last place always receives 0 points, then the
day's validity is entirely dependant on the winners score. |
| Goal not reached : |
-1 place and -1 point
eg 1st becomes 2nd - 1 point = 19 points,
2nd becomes 3rd - 1 point = 15 points... |
| < 15 pilots flew : |
(-1 place and -1 point) * (15 - pilots flew)
eg if 12 pilots flew then -3 places and -3 points
so 1st becomes 4th - 3 points = 10 points |

Penalties |
| Penalties consist of different types: safety, regulatory, unfair
advantage or some combination of these. As a general rule, a safety
related infringement should
carry a high penalty - safety must always be at the highest possible level.
Regulatory infringements may also incur a high
penalty, or they may be left to the regulating authority to apply a
penalty. Unfair advantages should be penalised at a level which guarantees
that no advantage has been gained. As an example, flying in controlled
airspace may give the offending pilot an unfair advantage. The pilot may be
disqualified
for infringing airspace restrictions, or it may be left to the government
to prosecute. Still, the extra height may have been beneficial to the pilots
performance and some penalty needs to be given.
|
| Penalty | Comments |
| Early Start | 2 points |
Starting course < 30 seconds too early |
| Cloud Flying | 0 score |
This is a safety issue and will not be tolerated. It may be downgraded to 1
place + 1 point if the pilot demonstrates it was accidental by subsequently
flying to a location at a lower altitude and greater distance from the next
TP/goal |
| Minor Airspace infringement | 1 place + 1 point |
Incursion into airspace of < 500 meters horizontally or < 500 feet vertically
|
| Major airspace infringement | 0 score | Incursion into airspace
of > 500 meters horizontally and > 500 feet vertically. This may be
downgraded to a Minor Airspace Infringement if the pilot subsequently
navigates to a location at a lower altitude and greater distance
from the next TP/goal than when the incursion occured. You may still be
prosecuted by the relevant authority for any airspace incursion |
| Missed TP | 1 place + 1 point | Pilot misses TP by < 400
meters |
| Too low at goal | 1 place + 1 point | Pilot arrives at goal <
200 feet below the required height |
|
| Bonuses |
| Bonuses may be available. For example, a bonus may be awarded for the first
pilot to reach a given TP. |
