    Below are the Flight Analysis screen shots I was asked to submit. I provided the start and finish and a complete route.
    I have the ones that are in-between also. The last one is "Have One Red", my ride.

    To the committee members: if you require any other sort of validation, please let me know.
    I made screen shots of the FSrealWX lite window at the start, a point mid-way, and at the end of this flight leg.

    Mephitic fumes in the cranial cavities blocked the gray matter from setting the correct heading to the second
    NDB waypoint which resulted in the erroneous southerly course at the start of the flight. Charts, calculators and
    eyeballs eventually corrected the navigational error.
