Notes

The departure was just at the moment when the Low pressure ‘Joachim’ fully hit Toulouse with ground winds up to 54 kts.

Three Records in one flight:
The highest groundspeed seen during this Customer acceptance flight south of Toulouse was 450 kts, while the camera shot shows ‘only’ 445 kts. Later on while performing the low speed checks we reached a sensational low GS of 21 kts (sorry no camera shot available). During landing the touch down GS was only 43 kts!
