Notes:

There were two time/data gaps during this flight which occurred from 163214Z-163216Z and from 163549Z-163600Z.

The King liquid water sensor was inoperative throughout the flight.

Altitude data from inertial 1 and 2 were both inoperative throughout the entire flight.

Temperature data from sensor number 3 and dewpoint data from sensor number 1 are erroneous.

Data from radar altimeter 232 was substituted into radar altimeter 159 from takeoff-163124Z and from 181820Z-182200Z.

There was a drift angle difference between both inertials of ~250 degrees at takeoff from 162701Z-
163000Z.

There was an ~30 mb difference in differential attack pressure between the fuselage and radome.

Pitch values from inertial 1 had numerous unrepresentative spikes throughout the flight.

Otherwise, all sensors worked optimally during this 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.
