We could change that to 4% (unless the rounding treats this as 3%), but this would definitely be an outlier.
I thought there were a small number that were over that threshold but seemed to be correct?

I also wonder whether the new IST might be part of the issue. I think we might have seen a few others where the distances looked somewhat off, perhaps because AC is still using the old coordinates or something? Old IST to NAV is 340 according to GCmap.
