Default Longest glide?

Somewhere I have a see-you trace of a flight in France a couple of years
ago where the stats show a final phase of 3 hrs 56 minutes and a glide of
525k. It started at fl 190 and included following a couple of wave bars and
following ridge lines as we descended. Glider was Nimbus 4 and P1 Alain
Poulet.
