The flight documentation interval is the time between LANDING and
turning in the score, not the time between FINISHING and turning in
the score

10.10.1.1 Flight Documentation Interval (FDI)
This is the maximum time that may elapse between a landing at the
contest site and the submission of a Landing Card and flight
documentation to the Scorer. When not otherwise designated by the CD,
a value of 1 hour shall be used.

Does anyone disagree with this interpretation? I can't find a "finish
time interval" (nor can edit find in the SSA rules) between the time
of finish and landing.

John,

I recall the "LTI- Landing Time Interval"(?) that I think was dropped when the
dataloggers came in. I can't find any mention of it in the rules now)

Specifying a max time between the finish and subsequent landing kept the
"creative" competitors from finishing and then flying out to add another nearby
turnpoint to their filmstrip.
