Flight Number: 
120113
Payload Configuration: 
DC-8 OIB Deployment - Chile 2011
Nav Data Collected: 
Yes
Total Flight Time: 
10.7 hours
Comments: 
Alexander Island area in the Antarctic Peninsula. Multiple lines hand flown by pilot as they were a resurvey of P-3 data. Varying terrain was aided by excellent yet rare conditions allowing 100% collection for ATM and DMS. Gravity and radar lines flown were more challenging as cloud cover became significant over eastern portion of the central peninsula. Takeoff and landing times were estimated to get actual mission flight time. 6.1 Hrs science collection.
