• FAI triangle (Triangle conform to the FAI definition (the shortest leg of the triangle must be at least 28% of the total triangle). 1 km = 1,40 p

A flight may be scored as a triangle, when the distance between start point and finish point is less than 10% o f the entire distance as given by the 3 turn points. The scoring distance will then be given by the turn point distance, minus the gap (finish to start) distance.
