Headline: On Hold until Friday
Rob Clancy called last night and we straightened out the CB3 part number and
he is re-ordering it.
We took data at 0430 to pass the FA steps of 10A and 10B. It was
interesting the the Alps were clearly visible on the display, which has not been
observed before now at this site.
We met with the entire team this morning and discussed how to proceed.
We agreed to take more target of opportunity data this morning and meet again
this afternoon. Everyone wants to keep the radar running. As we will
return to the USA Saturday, there may be another flight test attempt on Friday,
if we have some reason to think performance will improve. Otherwise, we
must find another solution in order to keep the radar on. I suggested that
perhaps the German waiver system would accommodate them accepting the radar with
the outstanding flight test if there were an obligation from LMCO to perform a successful
flight test some time during the warranty period. Barz indicated
"This is not possible."
ToO data was taken in the morning and analyzed. We have officially
informed the BWB that we do not understand the performance of the flights that
they feel did not pass the P(d) test, and requested an additional flight test on
the back up day, Friday. This was arranged immediately by Captain Haan,
and Mission 3 (FL 080) will be repeated Friday at 0815 and Mission 4 (FL 410)
will be repeated at noon.
