Plotted against rank.
Analysis computed
Hover or focus a dot to name the pilot behind it.
Each dot is a pilot. ρ = -0.78 (clear pattern, n = 27). More is expected to be better here, and it was: top ranks gather to the right. The curve is a trend fitted through the dots: left to right it runs from about rank 22 to about rank 7. 8 pilots have no value and are not plotted.
