If you have a closer look into the pilot listing, you will discover a lot of various information:

  • Pilots with a dark background are currently displayed on the map. Toggle their visibility by clicking on the list item.
  • A yellow label next to a pilot's profile image indicates that they've received a warning, possibly due to reasons like airspace infringements or incorrect turnpoint completion.
  • If a pilot has a red label, it signifies that a penalty has been imposed on them.
  • A pilot marked with a dark blue label has pulled their night pass, thus they're allowed to hike through the night.

The coloured line below the pilot's name indicates the team and track color. Next you'll see the current status of each pilot. Possible states are: Flying, Hiking, Resting and Sleeping. If the pilots are flying and are activated, their speed and altitude is displayed below the glider icon.
