| Comments: | Science flight along the northern Canadian continental coast to Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. Conditions were somewhat cloudy during the first portion of the flight but improved some as it continued. We conducted spiral descents with missed approaches to Inuvik (Northwest Territories twice, Kugluktuk (Nunavut), and Cambridge Bay (Nunavut). DACOM reported some components that need adjustment. All other instruments reported good results. | ||||
