Notes

Climb and Speed averaged over 4 second intervals.

These values may be lower than those shown by a flight instrument, which has access to continuous raw data.

Average Speed around course is measured from Start to Finish points.

Track Length is the cumulative distance between track points from Takeoff to Landing.

You can change the default units displayed - see the Options page.

There were surprisingly few people at Combe, 10 or 12 pilots at most. The talk on the hill was of getting off the hill before the forecast easterly set in around 11 - that didn't happen! It stayed northerly to at least 2 ish.

One or two were skilled enough to escape the hill before noon, at which point there was a general 'time for lunch' cessation of flying (although one person did sneak away)

Once back in the air the climb out was the smoothest climb I'd been in all day (a silky 2 up). Once up, the next few climbs were fairly easy. The end of the flight was a bit of a bummer - V2 failure and vague idea of approaching airspace. Oh well, another lesson learnt!
