<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Sorry…some of the angles and orientations in the plans sent late yesterday were incorrect. This new version should correct these. As a consequence, the pattern 1 has changed to pattern 1b shown in the attached.
This new pattern has been modified to include a leg (4-6) about 20-25 deg from PP. This plan will likely be closer to 3 hours.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Because of the length of time and the orientation of clouds and PP, I also made another plan (pattern 3) shown in slides (9-11). This requires the use of W-289 but has the advantage of an easier orientation
to get to the forecast position of the clouds as well as to keep the preferred orientation with respect to PP. After going over USC seaprism (#3) the pattern goes 20-25 deg from PP along 4-6; low clouds are forecast to be along this leg also. The pattern then
goes over El Segundo. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Tim…the pattern 3 may be the preferred one for proximity to clouds, orientation of legs, and shorter length of time. Can we get W-289 for Wednesday? If not, pattern 1b may be used but requires W-291. Can we
get this?</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The second pattern (2b) changed slightly. The leg between 12 and 13 (clouds over water) is about 20 deg from PP. This plan is closer to 4 hours.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Folks,</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Please find attached some draft flight plans for the ER-2 test flight on Wednesday. We need to provide Tim Williams a draft plan by Monday noon so he can start working this for Wednesday and for asking permission
for relevant restricted zones and warning areas.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The attached powerpoint shows a couple of candidates. The first couple of slides show the cloud forecast for Wed. This is a long way out so the forecast uncertainty is large, but the ECMWF forecast shows the
presence of low clouds some distance off the coast. Therefore, in the first plan (pattern 1) (Slides 3-5) after getting to altitude, the ER-2 goes over the USC Sea Prism AERONET site then heads out southwest over the ocean and eventually low clouds toward
point 4. The leg goes out along a flight corridor which may make it easier to work, since it avoids some warning areas. In addition, for a takeoff time of 9 am, it also it fairly well oriented ~20-30 deg from principal plane (from what I could tell from
Samuel’s flight plan program) which can help avoid glint. The aircraft then returns along the same track (hopefully giving AirMPSI dual view of the track) before reaching point 5. Then the track goes over the El Segundo AERONET site (wp6) during a south-north
run. I think the flight will take about 2.5 or so hours, but we’ll have to see what Tim comes up with for the timing. We may have to shorten this since I probably did not allot enough time for turns, etc.
</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I think it would be good if we can reserve W-291 (and W-289?) if necessary, in case these may help us fine tune the plan to better catch low clouds.
</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The second plan (pattern 2) (slides 6-9) may be something we try if there are no clouds off SW California or try for test flight 2. This is based on a eMAS plan that Rose sent earlier. After takeoff, the plane
heads NE toward Railroad Valley site and avoids restricted areas in Nevada. The ER-2 does W-E then E-W legs over Railroad Valley (3-8) then heads to Coast Guard site at Lake Tahoe (#10). The plane continues west over the coast and perhaps low clouds over
the water before turning east to come back over the coast. There are legs over the AERONET sites at Monterey (#15) and Fresno (#17) before RTB. This pattern is longer (3.5-4 hours).
</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Please let me know your thoughts on a pattern for Wednesday’s flight. If neither of these will work for you, then please let me know what will (and better yet…provide some sketches or maps of what you have in
mind.) The important thing is to provide Tim a good idea of where we will fly by Monday noon so he can provide sufficient notice to the ATC and request permission to fly in restricted areas if necessary.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I have also attached kml files and spreadsheets (in long form and hopefully a form useful for the pilots).

a 2 hour flight followed by a 4 hour flight may be better. We can discuss this.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#44546A">Some of these flights go over warning and restricted areas so I don’t know if these can be conducted as is. In addition, some of the patterns use corridors to get out over the water then perform
plans beyond the warning areas. However, I expect that we will need to use some of the warning areas over the water to keep the flight time 2-4 hours or so and to have the proper orientation of the legs. For portions of these flights, some of the legs (over
low cloud over water) will need to be oriented about +/-20 deg from the principal plane, so it will make a difference what time the ER-2 takes off (these all assume a 9 AM local takeoff time).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#44546A">Perhaps we can discuss these during telecon and also email. It would be good to hear from the pilots regarding the feasibility of the plans and when/how we need to provide more definite plans.
