CNS computing mistake

Daniel,
What exactly is your plan? It could be that they are just planned
differently. Are you planning to descend and then do 30 minutes on the
bottom leaving the bottom at around 33-35mins runtime or were you planning
of leaving the bottom on 30 minutes meaning that some (3-5 minutes) of that
30 minutes is your descent and a smaller portion (25-27 minutes) is the
actual bottom time?

Once I know exactly what you are trying to plan we can ensure that the same
calculation is taking place everywhere.
