Notes:

There were several time/data gaps during this flight which occurred from 124957Z-125046Z, 151200Z-
151202Z, 150906Z-150909Z, and 151902Z-151912Z.

Data from radar altimeter 159 was replaced with data from radar altimeter 232 from 120108Z-120337Z. Also, Radar Altimeter 232 was inoperative from 135500Z-145609Z.

Differences between dewpoint sensor one and two exceeded 4 degrees throughout much of the flight.

There was no altitude data from Inertial 1 and 2 throughout the entire flight.

Static pressure from the wingtip and fuselage differed by 4 mb throughout much of the flight..

The King liquid water sensor (KLWC), differential attack pressure from the nose radome (PDAR), differential slip pressure from the nose radome (PDSR), dynamic pressure measured from the center port of the nose radome (PQR), total pressure measured at the nose radome (PTR), total and ambient temperature from sensor 3 (TA3,TT3), and dewpoint sensor 3 (TDM3, TD3), were all inoperative throughout the entire flight.

SPECIAL NOTE!!!	Locations 80, 81 and 82 of record five on the standard tape contain

vertical ground, vertical air and vertical speeds, respectively, computed

using Dave Jorgensen's vertical wind algorithm.

It is recommended that these values be used for vertical wind analysis.

Takeoff	Landing

Aircraft Static Pressure	1019.1 mb	1018.8 mb

Corrected Tower Pressure	1019.6 mb	1020.9 mb
