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.

Red values indicate suspect data, because the tracklog contains invalid points.

Metric units are used for all chart data, except for Height which is shown in feet.

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.

Red values indicate suspect data, because the tracklog contains invalid points.

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.

Pandy launch had plenty of sun, but a bit too much wind, and a bit too northerly. Thanks to the helpers standing ready to grab or push as needed, I got off without doo much drama, but struggled to get up the first slope on to a more north-east facing bit of ridge. I climbed in a couple of thermals, but was never high enough to consider going over the back. Luckily a tandem showed that getting up the slope was doable, so I followed them.

After a long, slow struggle up the ridge, the return was very quick - just as well, because my thumbs were almost dropping off. I had heat packs in my mittens, but the thumbs don't really benefit.

A first bogus cross-country of the season!
