Flying style

Pilots grouped by how alike their flying was.

Analysis computed

The groups are flying style, and not score. The spread of ranks in each group shows where that style paid and where it did not.

32 pilots · ranks 1–37 · median 16.5 · middle half 8.8–24.3

Low — Low saves dug out from the bottom of the band group median P32 in this field (0.0 count)

7 pilots · ranks 30–39 · median 34 · middle half 32.5–37

Low — Time spent flying with a gaggle group median P4 in this field (0 percent)
Low — How much of the thermal the pilot climbed before leaving it group median P8 in this field (46 percent)
High — Share of race time spent hunting for the next climb group median P92 in this field (43 percent) · usually costly
High — Final glide committed to when leaving the last climb group median P92 in this field (35.69 ratio)
