    "method": "The flight-time method applied to two aircraft: a Pilatus PC-12 NGX at its published maximum cruise of 290 knots and a light jet at the Phenom 300E published long-range cruise of 385 knots. The difference column is the real time penalty, which is smaller on short sectors than the speed gap suggests because ground and profile time is identical.",
