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.

Open to everyone

The public flight feed#

Where Flights

/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#

Where 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.

Year
The season. Rankings restart every calendar year. Past years stay readable forever.
Category
Overall, Serial, Sport, Standard
Splits the table by glider class. Serial and Sport cover EN-A to EN-D, Standard covers EN-A and EN-B only. Use Standard to compare yourself against pilots on comparable wings.
Country
Only pilots flying for that country. The list only offers countries that actually have pilots in the selected year. For a national table. It reads the country from each pilot's profile, so a pilot who left it empty appears only in the global table.
Search pilots
Jumps to a pilot by name. Faster than scrolling to position 240.

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.
