Can someone explain the 116 kt difference? Altitudes were 380 down and 350 back.

Or do I just need to go back and read up on TAS?

ps Chuck Norris just ordered a Jadaveon Clowney jersey.
Sounds like Flightaware might be reporting Ground Speed instead of TAS.

I'm a Michigan fan and that hit he put on the running back made my teeth hurt up here in DTW.
