See the screenshot, the times are not consistent for a given flight within the Wind analysis window.
Why there is a difference at the same altitude?
Is the whole profile (climb, cruise, descent) used to do the analysis or only a cruise from departure to destination?

Hello,

I ran some tests and in fact I think it has to do with the date of the flight.
If I don't input a date, the times are the same in both windows but if I choose a date in the future (with winds available) the flighttime changes in the main window but the numbers in the analysis window are exactly the same as before.
It seems as if the analysis window is not using the future winds but only the present winds.
See the screen shots first with take off at present time (16 August 16:05 UTC), then 12h in the future and finally 24h in the future.
I also enclosed the flightplan
Best regards
Pascal
