Flightpaths from Bavaria-Glide / Standard Class

Some pilots at the pre-worlds "Bavaria-Glide" were very fast, others needed a lot more time to accomplish the tasks. What role did their route decisions play in this game? What made some pilots fast, what slowed others down? Are there tricky areas in the competition area of the next World Gliding Championships at Bayreuth?

The data from the GNSS-flightrecorders will tell you the secrets. They are now available as IGC files which can be anlaysed with software like Strepla (look at the result monitor for examples), CAL and Flight Planner 4 (screenshot on mainpage of "Site").

The files of every pilot are put together in one ZIP-file for download. Every IGC-file is in the general form "CS-DD.IGC", where CS means the contest and DD the flying day. At average the files are 200 to 400 kB big. The list presents the pilots in the order of the final result after nine contest days.
