| Comments: | ATom-3 science checkflight #2. One hour and 11 minute takeoff delay required to swap a MFD config box in the cockpit. This flight consisted of three low approaches over airfields in Raton, NM (KRTN), Hays, KS (KHYS), and Broomfield, CO (KBJC). Successful speed runs were obtained at 35kft and 38kft. MMS maneuvers at 10kft and 5 minutes of level flight at 1000 ft AGL were also accomplished. The science payload did well. EMI did not appear on VHF#2. The aircraft returned in good shape. | ||||
