| Comments: | After the final research and maintenance crews arrived on 28 Oct, mission plans were submitted to ATC and the first flight was conducted today. Mission was a simple VFR East West box pattern over a variety of snow, icecap, inland water, mountainous terrain and the ocean. Flight went from Kangerlussuaq to 20 NM off the west coast of Greenland in the vicinity of Sisimiut airport, north 20 NM, east for 140 NM over the ice cap, south 20 NM and finally west to the airfield. Altitude was varied up to 9500 feet MSL as the terrain elevations changed and to maintain a minimum separation above the overcast clouds below the aircraft. Aircraft and Reseaarch system operated as expected. | ||||
