Line 1: Line 1:
-**Winds** can have 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). 
- 
-Responding to the expectations of our clients we have implemented **average winds** into Leon, so now when you add a new flight (either from 'New Flight' or 'Planned Flights' sections) the system suggests **2 STA times** (apart from the one based on historical flights):  
- 
-  * **calculated from GCD** 
- 
-and  
- 
-  * **calculated from GCD, average winds included**
