Notes:

There was one time/data gap during this flight which occurred from 182801Z-182810Z.

The Collins GPS was inoperative from 142900Z-143821Z.

Drift angle and heading values from inertial two were off by ~75 degrees throughout the flight. This had a profound impact on winds. Therefore, inertial one was used to calculate derived wind data.

The King liquid water sensor was inoperative throughout the flight

In order to reduce relative humidity data to reasonable values, a spike in dewpoint sensor number one was removed from 193940Z-194045Z.

There was no altitude data from Inertial 1 and 2 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.
