Share of the height gain made outside thermals

Plotted against rank.

Analysis computed

Each dot is a pilot. ρ = -0.88 (clear pattern, n = 8). No expected direction — the sign is the finding: larger values went with better ranks here. The curve is a trend fitted through the dots: left to right it runs from about rank 11 to about rank 1. 9 pilots have no value and are not plotted.
