Awesome. Thank you Bob. I will do that and merrily continue. Pretty cool to understand that assure time better. The bottom line here is that it was all my cockpit error! At least I was not short of the runway with no engine. Instincts would not say to push the stick forward which is likely the best thing to do. I will also give the rings a bit more lift when I can to reduce the trouble zone. I did see that the NINA folks have gotten into this nest of troubles and have sorted out how to play with APCC's meridian limits. The little web page is well don and the video in middle is fairly impressive. For me it was useful to learn where APCC stores such info.
