Gliding wide of the optimal course line

Plotted against rank.

Analysis computed

Each dot is a pilot. ρ = 0.92 (clear pattern, n = 29). No expected direction — the sign is the finding: larger values went with worse ranks here. The curve is a trend fitted through the dots: left to right it runs from about rank 3 to about rank 27. 4 pilots have no value and are not plotted.
