9Public flights and rankings
The two public boards built from published flights: the rolling flight feed and the pilot ranking, and how a pilot's public page pulls them together.
The public flight feed#
/flights is the front page of the flying: every flight that pilots have published, newest first. It is open to everyone and needs no account.
The filters mirror the ones in your own log, so you can narrow the feed to a year, a day, a country or an XC type. The scope line above the list always states what you are currently looking at, which matters once you have set three filters and forgotten one.
Each entry links straight to the flight page, and the pilot name links to their public profile.
Pilot rankings#
The ranking is a season table. A pilot's score is the sum of the points of their ten best public flights in the selected year, so consistency beats one lucky day, but not by much.
Points come from the same XC scoring as everywhere else: distance multiplied by the factor of the flight type. Flat triangles and FAI triangles carry the heavier factors, which is why the top of the table is full of triangles.
Above the table, the podium shows the top three with their flags and scores, and a summary line gives the number of pilots, the number of counted flights, the total points and the best single score in the current scope.
Note
Only public flights count. A private flight is never scored into a ranking, and publishing an old flight late adds it to the year it was flown, not to the year you uploaded it.
Note
Hike and fly days enter the rankings with their best flight: XC distance and points come from that flight alone, never from the walk between launches.
A pilot's public page#
Clicking any pilot name opens their public flight profile at /flight-profile. It is the personal version of the two boards above: their year snapshot, their XC highlights, their best flights, their ranking position and their full public flight archive.
Your own page is described in Pilot profile, including how to keep it out of sight if you would rather it did not exist.
