My 18yr old son is currently in Barcelona - first time abroad and in a plane. Being an overprotective parent I thought I'd track his flight so I could see when he had landed safely = and save the data for him so he could see his journey.
Anyhow, I noticed weird spike in the flight graph (which I couldn't save). A sudden jump of 200mph in air speed - and equally sudden reduction - at around 15,000ft. No jump in altitude increase though. Also a rapid change in direction.
The flight was on Friday 3rd at around 7.18 am bst leaving from Bristol. Data copied below - any thoughts?
