How W43171 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for W43171 across the OTP and MAD boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left about 6 min early but landed about 24 min early. Not enough to call it.
