  • Altitudes are ISA pressure altitudes; absolute values differ from QNH altitude by the day's pressure offset.
  • Wind is estimated from circling drift only (one sample per thermal, interpolated in time); straight-flight wind is not directly measured.
  • TAS/IAS are derived from ground speed minus estimated wind and ISA density - treat as estimates.
  • GPS–baro difference before takeoff is shown for reference only; it can include local geoid variation, so it is not used to correct altitude.
  • Recorder appears to be a phone app; GPS positions were smoothed (3 s) before geometric analysis.
