ER-2 instrumenters,<br>

if you could update your instrument status in the appropriate tab of the google doc linked below, I would greatly appreciate it. This will help our team communication tremendously, I believe.<br>

Congratulations to the P-3 crew and instrumenters on a job very well done. There were some significant hurdles and you cleared them beautifully. I absolutely love the instrument status tab on the google docs spreadsheet. That will likely be the way we will
move forward with instrument status summaries. Would it be OK, if we added a tab for the ER-2 instrument status as well and renamed the doc ORACLES aircraft summaries or something like it? Or should we start a separate google doc for that?<br>
<br>
Thanks again to all involved with the P-3 for getting us to this point.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have just landed from the 2<sup>nd</sup> P3 test flight. It went well; we got almost all objectives. The clear air was less clear than hoped and forecasted, but there was some useable periods. The cloudy portion near Wallops was less
cloudy than hoped, but still got some good short cloud penetrations with some small droplets. We did get low flying over ocean, with a couple of ship plume interceptions. Almost all instruments worked well including PDI, CCN did not, neither did CAPS from
the cloud probes, and TDMA from the HiGEAR rack. HiGEAR did find more leaks than they had hoped.
