How much of the thermal the pilot climbed before leaving it
Plotted against rank.
Analysis computed
Hover or focus a dot to name the pilot behind it.
Each dot is a pilot. ρ = -0.84 (clear pattern, n = 22). 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 20 to about rank 5. 11 pilots have no value and are not plotted.
