Line 1: Line 1:
-Sometimes it is hard to believe that the **winds** can have that much effect on the flight time. Some flights can be around 25% shorter when flying east than flying west. For example, flying from New York to Amsterdam can take around 8 hours and 45 minutes (at the speed of 400 knots/h), while flying from Amsterdam to New York can take around 9 hours and 30 minutes (at the same speed). 
  
-We have implemented average winds into Leon, so now the system suggests **2 STA times** (apart from the one based on historical flights):  
- 
-  * **calculated from GCD** 
- 
-and  
- 
-  * **calculated from GCD, average winds included**
