New world speed record: 534 km/h!
In a 1-26 no less!
It's gotta be true: it's on OLC and it's not even red flagged. Now how many FARs does that violate? |

By the way, the olc is full of incorrect scoring. I've seen:
- motorglider flights, where the engine was used multiple times, get scored for the whole distance. - landouts where the logger was not turned off thus olc included the aero retreive in the scorring distance. - flights which cut significantly short as a result of noise comming from an opened window. - same flights posted twice the same day or in consecutive days, etc... Since it is so complicated and confusing to try to make any corrections on olc, many pilots just leave it as is. Ramy wrote: It's been "corrected" now.

The inability of OLC to accept corrections when the OLC system posts information not even closely related to what was flown is a major weakness. I have experienced several examples in each OLC season of what you have described. The OLC is relatively unresponsive, and the USA OLC too uncertain as a result. I suspect Doug has his hands full trying to present a system which may seem sensible to its builders and decision makers but has become increasingly unsatisfactory to its North American users. I suggest we cut Haluza some slack, 'cause the problem is not on this continent. Jack |
