Cessna 172 Skyhawk N6508K has a 1,063.9-knot outlier in its track
The aircraft was reported near Pinckney, Michigan. Surrounding speed reports stayed between 96 and 123 knots.
A ground-speed report of 1,063.9 knots stood out in a flight recorded on September 18, 2026, near Pinckney, Michigan. The aircraft database lists N6508K as a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. That extraordinary reading was isolated among much lower speeds in the recorded track.
The 16 surrounding reports ranged from 96 to 123 knots, with 111 knots recorded before the spike and 118 knots afterward. The isolated value could reflect a decoding or data error; this observation alone cannot establish the aircraft's performance or the cause of the discrepancy.
