Line 5:
** She's only there to oversee the tornado and record it's wind speed. The tornado itself was the job of the Ponyville pegasi.
*** That explains the first time, but when it was clear they weren't making the record, why not help when they were just doing it to prevent a drought?
*** With Rainbow Dash inspiring all the pegasi that they can do it, why jump in? They really wanted to prove that they can do it so she probably let them have that chance. If they really couldn't pull it off on their own, Spitfire would probably report it back to Cloudsdale and either join in and maybe call in some of the other Wonderbolts or get another town to do it.
*** Providing water from the various towns' reservoir seems like part of a social duty across Equestria to assure the weather system is maintained. As such, Spitfire here would be acting as a government employee -- assuring the process is completed but unable to get involved.
** How would 8 pegasi missing lead to a drop of over 200 wingpower?
Line 13:
*** The wingpower readings are done while sprinting a short distance, creating the tornado relies just as much on endurance. Rainbow Dash in her eagerness to set a new record probably didn't think about this and simply added the readings together. When Twilight did her calculations she would take endurance into consideration and came to a lower number than Rainbow, but decided not to tell her (maybe they'd have enough to have a stab at the record and she wouldn't want to risk rattling her confidence). When the 8 pegasi have to drop out, Twilight suddenly realizes they'll not have enough power to get the job done and fills Rainbow in on the bad news.
*** Actually, the jump from 10 wingpower to 25 is pretty easy to figure out once you look at Fluttershy's numbers. To hit the minimum to work, Fluttershy's wingpower would have to increase by 218%. This can actually be explained through a perpetual slipstream, in which the leader of the group is in the slipstream of the last person in the line. Without the air resistance, the group can go faster, netting a potential increase by 2.5 wingpower. This would also mean that there are approximately 40 eligible pegasi living in Ponyville.
** Given Rainbow Dash's own problems with performance anxiety [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
*** Except that Rainbow got over her performance anxiety only when an emergency situation came up. Which Fluttershy has proven capable of doing already. There's not much advice she can give to Fluttershy since in this respect they are ironically similar.
*** Fair enough, but it would have been a nice [[Call Back]] if Rainbow had at least brought up the fact that she knew what Fluttershy was going through having experienced it herself.
