Hall of Fame

All groups have a built-in hall of fame. The hall of fame will automatically track the flight statistics for group members to see who have performed their best in any given year. Statistics are tracked for all group members with a Gaggle subscription. Statistics will only be tracked for flights shared with the group.

A new hall of fame will be created for every year and flights are only counted for the year in which they were flown. You can access the hall of fame by tapping on the Hall of Fame tab in the group details page.

How it’s calculated

The hall of fame works differently to other stats in Gaggle. It aims to give you a bit more bragging rights, so it’s more lenient in many cases than the other stats in Gaggle, and it will in some cases show higher values than for instance the personal bests section under achievements which aims to be more accurate and only show the best of the best for your personal flights aiming to push you to new heights.

We are also focused on only adding valid flights to the hall of fame so we only track stats that meet the following conditions:

1. The flight must be longer than 5 minutes.
2. The flight must be longer than 1 km.
3. The flight must have a maximum speed of more than 13 km/h.
4. The flight must have an average height above ground of more than 25 meters.
5. Only values 30 seconds after takeoff and 30 seconds before landing are considered.
6. The flight must be less than a predefined maximum speed for the flight to be considered valid. For paramotors for instance the maximum speed is 150 km/h.
7. Stats are calculated as a trend over a 30-second time period to ensure that the stats are not just a spike in the data.

FAQ

How often is the hall of fame updated?

The hall of fame after your flight is uploaded to the server and the stats are calculated. This is usually done within a few minutes after the flight is uploaded.

Can I see the hall of fame for previous years?

No, the hall of fame only started considering flights from 25 March 2024 onwards.

Can I see the hall of fame for other groups?

No, the hall of fame is only available for the group you are a member of.

Why does the hall of fame show different values than the personal bests section?

The hall of fame uses different criteria to calculate the stats than the personal bests section. The personal bests section aims to show the best of the best for your personal flights, while the hall of fame aims to give you a bit more bragging rights and is more lenient in many cases. The hall of fame also only shows flights that meet certain criteria to ensure that only valid flights are shown. Some flights, like imported flights, are private by default and won’t be shared to the group and won’t be considered for the hall of fame.

My imported flights are not showing in the hall of fame?

Imported flights are private by default and won’t be shared to the group and won’t be considered for the hall of fame. You can share imported flights with the group by editing the flight and changing the privacy settings to groups or everyone.

The hall of fame contains bad data from a flight that was not valid?

If you see a flight in the hall of fame that you think is not valid, please report the flight to the pilot, so they can remove the flight from the group by making it private.
