Still, a very respectful flight, but definitely not a 1500km by any

Not a 1500km flight by FAI badge standards (4 legs maximum) and not by OLC

standards (6 legs maximum), but there is a standard that allows up to 12

legs: the MAT task used at SSA contests.



More precisely, the MAT allows a maximum of 11 turnpoints, and a big

"attaboy" will go to the first RASer who can correctly explain why the rules

specify that odd number. (Hint: that number goes back long before the

introduction of the GPS flight recorder)
