| Comments: | The aircraft experienced a yellow landing gear fault about 20 minutes into the mission. After consultation with NGC, it was determined that the cause of the fault was likely a sensor issue and a decision was made to continue the mission. Landing occured without any issues. 54 sondes were deployed during the mission and the scientists report good data from all three instruments. | ||||
