That is odd. I thought OLC split the flight up into 6 equal times. I guess they screwed up on this one.
legs 4-6 were basically my traffic pattern at Paris. Legs 1-3 were the flight there.


no they optimize the distance in 6 legs. equal time has nothing to do with it


The leg after that 5.6 knot thermal showed 94 mph! Wow! 21 knot tailwind and TAS were speeding you along faster than some power planes. Great job. I wish I had my Cirrus out there to tag along on some of those epic flights. Great job.
