Plotted against rank.
Analysis computed
Hover or focus a dot to name the pilot behind it.
Each dot is a pilot. ρ = 0.86 (clear pattern, n = 46). Less is expected to be better here, and it was: top ranks gather to the left. The curve is a trend fitted through the dots: left to right it runs from about rank 7 to about rank 38.
