ATom Plan of the Day

A/C access for Monday (7/18) will be approx. 1030 to 1500

We are planning a 0900 takeoff for the first t/s effort for the "hum" issue. Should only be an hour.

We will have details available following the flight and at 1300 on whether we will need a flight on Tuesday. If we do need to fly Tuesday we are planning two flights so access will be limited.

ATom Plan of the Day

A/C access for Saturday (7/16) will be for the CIT-CIMS servicing. No aircraft access. Mike Moore will assist the servicing at 0700.

Sunday (07/17) will be a NO A/C ACCESS and Dave Johnson will assist at 0700.

Reminder: we still have not been able to locate and eliminate the source of the “hum” found during the shake flight. As a result, we are planning a 1 hr  flight on Monday 7/18 to T/S our latest finding and attempt at a fix. PLEASE BE DILIGIENT IF YOU HAVE LEFT OR ARE LEAVING BEFORE NEXT WEEK TO KEEP YOUR INSTRUMENT AS WELL AS THE A/C IN FLYABLE CONDITION.

Flight is set for 0900. A/c access for those here will be available shortly after the flight is completed and aircraft is in hangar. Only available until normal crew day of 1500-1530.

A/C access for Friday (7/15) will be 07:00 to 15:00

  • From the 1300 meeting today, the current group of experimenters have expressed no need for A/C access on Saturday. Thank you for your communication. As a result,
  • Saturday (7/16) and Sunday (07/17) will be a NO A/C ACCESS DAY.  On Saturday Mike Moore will assist with the CIT–CIMS Cryo Service and on Sunday Dave Johnson will assist. If you could please coordinate the times accordingly if you haven’t that would be great.
  • As you all may have heard, we still have not been able to locate and eliminate the source of the “hum” found during the shake flight. As a result, we are planning a 1 hr  flight on Monday 7/18 to T/S our latest finding and attempt at a fix. PLEASE BE DILIGIENT IF YOU HAVE LEFT OR ARE LEAVING BEFORE NEXT WEEK TO KEEP YOUR INSTRUMENT AS WELL AS THE A/C IN FLYABLE CONDITION.
