5.1 TYPE AND PURPOSE OF RACE

The race is a First Category Event of the FAI and consists of a distance flight. The final classification will be based on the greatest distance covered. The distance will be measured by determination of the arc of the great circle in accordance with the Sporting Code, Section one Aerostats.

3.8 DISTANCE
Unless otherwise specified, the distance between two points is the length of the shortest great circle arc joining their co-ordinates on a spherical surface of 6371 kilometres radius. It is thus independent of the actual shape of the earth. Methods of calculation are given in Annex 4.
