Flight Reports began being entered into this system as of 2012 flights. If there were flights flown under an earlier log number the flight reports are not available online.
This is primarily a repeat flight, designed to re-fly a portion of a coast-parallel grid on the west side of Dyer Plateau, with grid lines spaced at 20 km. This grid is intended to assess dh/dt in this area, and on its south end it connects with a similarly-designed grid in the English Coast 03 flight. The remainder of this grid is flown in the companion South Peninsula A flight.
Overall, it was a good day for data collection. Clouds were present on a small part of the southernmost edge of the flight path impacting ATM and DMS, but good data was collected the rest of the line. All instruments worked well today, though with the gravimeter ground station stuck in the sea cargo data gaps may be possible along the line.
