Is this calc stacking?

"If character A is able to keep up with hypersonic jets, jumping from one to another, dodging at the same time as them and standing on top of them no problem, and so can character B, and then character B speedblitzes character A with his arm from a big distance, then character B has at least arm speed relative to the hypersonic jets. And that can be used on a calc"

Might be wrong but i think depensa on if hypersonic comes from a statament or a calc

No I think a statement would be needed for A's reactions here, something more concrete than the vague feat of scaling to something that's around a certain speed.

Calc Stack page:

Hiding calculations is the practice of trying to avoid calculating a feat in order to be able to use the result in another calculation. In other words it is the practice of trying to fool people into not noticing that calc stacking is being used.

This usually occurs if a feat is quantified per a rule of thumb instead of precisely calculated. A typical example would be a character dodging a bullet from a short distance being ranked as "Supersonic" and then using that ranking to calculate the speed of another character, whose speed one can compare to the former in some feat.

While it is acceptable to rank a character by such a self-evident feat without a calculation, one should keep in mind that the unwritten calculation is only skipped due to being trivial, but is still the justification for the ranking. Hence calc stacking will still be an issue for such feats.

Arkenis sounds mostly right.

From calculations I've seen rejected by CGMS I'd say it is calc stacking.
