Thanks Pit for the stats, always very interesting.
I try to learn something about of that every time. If I see some numbers in the stats:
I had 17 lifts (nLift) with an average climb (AltLift) of 273 m = 4.641 m, the first (and the last) one on the result list had 15 lifts with 213 m (214 m), that's 3.195 m. So if I understand right I used more than 1.400 m more height for the whole task. That's a big difference, round 30 %.
My speed (mIAS) is the highest of all, 166 km/h vs. 157 km/h of the first one, 152 km/h of the second one. So it looks like I destroyed the height with speed.
So far so good.
My average climb rate (aCR) is 1,45 m/s, I used MC with 1,5 m/s, a while a little bit more, 1,8 and 1,6 m/s, because of feeling better lifts, average shown on PDA up to 2,2 m/s. Usually I fly often a little bit slower than the MC shows on the PDA. What do I wrong, that I'm flying too fast? Was MC of 1,5 too high? If yes, how can I find the best way to set the MC?
On my final glide from TP3 I had a DDH -50 m, thought that would be enough, flew nearly exact after MC but lost DDH. Had to take three circles on the way home to come back to the DDH -50 m. May be I read the instruments wrong, thought it's nearly impossible. Surely it's the same reason for flying too fast.
I had such an experience one day when I forgot the gear, but it's impossible that time, because the speed is the killing factor. When I landed i took the gear out and it was out, not in. I'm looking for the failure.
Thanks for every hint to get better next time
