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.

I woke up to strong sunshine pouring around the curtains. "Alexa! What's the temperature? "

"At the moment, it's 2 degrees Celsius". "YES! ". Today was going to be a good day, possibly a great day.

Arriving at Firle though, the wind was quite a bit stronger than forecast which meant launch was delayed and I also delayed going XC as I waited for the wind to die down. The stronger wind meant there was no sign yet of the sea breeze - or so I thought.

I met up with a Delta 4 near Lewes and we started flying well together. We ended up on full bar trying to escape a big dark cloud near Truleigh. After that the clouds just switched off, they no longer had a nice flat bottom and I couldn't connect with another thermal. I didn't realise it but the dark cloud we had to escape from was a sea breeze convergence cloud. The sea breeze had obviously come in at a very sharp angle and so while I could see no obvious signs (no curtain cloud, no lower base, no dangly disorganized cloud) it had arrived at ground level and stifled all the thermals.

Never mind, still a lovely flight with strong climbs up to cloudbase at 5,000'. I met up with the Delta pilot and we got a lift back to Firle from my awesome friend Ashley.
