Overspeed notes- 20:00hrs to 20:05, o/speeds due to 'glitch' which extended gear (uncommanded)...maybe due to being in UKV discord discussion and watching stream. Required lengthy remedial actions to descend and re-accelerate. Second o/speed 20:57 (more normal) due to weather engine update with jetstream winds...corrected with throttle-off and then resume. Kennedy ground had closed the in-to-wind runways 31, so everyone was dealing with a 20-27kt "pure" crosswind component on rwys 04. So a 225 fpm landing rate here is good. When challenged as to why he shut the in-to-wind runways, he said he was "applying real world ops." The Vatsim CoC prevented any appropriate response...as does UKV CoC here.... Not the best crossing I've had... Departure control from Heathrow director and Lon-S was lovely tho....so that was nice.

(note to VA admin)...don't mind if the report is 'rejected'. Report filed as record of a flight that went "somewhat less-than-ideally"...and as a log entry. Departed with full PAX, 89 tonnes fuel. Landed with 14.2 tonnes fuel (after having engaged reheat during second forced climb-accel for a calculated couple of minutes to boost speed).
