Down safe at OPKC, albeit somewhat delayed (see story below). And this was a pre-dawn landing in the dark, so with low visibility it was a good job that Karachi has an ILS (in fact it has two).

A long time stationary mid-leg
On this flight I was unable to pay close attention to flight progress. My computer went into hibernation
after 2 hours of not being used, about 2hrs 5 minutes into the flight. I didn't realise until about 45-50 minutes after it hibernated, so in effect I have been stationary for about that time. However, because it wasn't a true "pause", Duenna doesn't have two recorded times at which I was at precisely the same point. It does have two points only 9.88nm apart (calculated from the link below), separated by 48 minutes 28 seconds. So, what has happened, is that I was flying at 07:17:40, but at some time before 07:27:40 (the next 10-minute Duenna record) I stopped. Given that I moved 9.88nm, and was cruising at 277 knots GS, I'm estimating it was 2 mins 10 seconds later, at 07:19:50. Then at 08:06:08 I "unhibernated", and Duenna made another record, and then went back into its 10-minute recording pattern at 08:16, 08:26, etc. So in conclusion, I estimate I was stationary for just over 46 minutes.

Anyway, since I don't have the correct evidence to make a "paused" time claim, and it seems unwise to bother Miss Nellie
cower
on the last official day of the race, I guess I'll just note this as a slow leg!
My computer is now set to "Never Hibernate".
And on a positive note, at least I've shaken off those headwinds!
