The climb was reported at only 700fpm max, less than 1/3 of the takoff climb rate on the same flight. But having been in the process of a 1700fpm descent, the relative difference was about the same as initial climb.

The reported 1 degree per second turn is mild, but directions are only reported a minute apart, so it certainly may have been compressed. Winds were generally from the SSW so a planned landing on 4 seems odd - 27 makes much more sense.

I'm at 8 in about 1500 segments.
