UJC,

I'm a little confused by those heading change (which would seem to actually be track not heading) numbers. The two pieces of data coded red below 5000' feet show heading changes of only 22 degrees.

But a left turn from 154 to 045 would be a total track change of 109 degrees. And in the 19 seconds time shown for the turn, that would make the turn rate 5.7 deg/sec. (With an accompanying 95 knot loss of some kind of speed (even GS that's a bunch in 19 secs).

Maybe I'm reading it wrong.
