Update on Tuesdays Activity
We have not managed to get any flying done yet today, except for the Jury Plane which has done quite a few cloud base checks, but at the moment the clouds are hovering at about 600m and we need them to go up another 200m before we can start. The wind has increased a little compared to the last two days (its now about 7 meters per second from 100 degrees), but the sun is still making an appearance, so perhaps the cloudbase will either rise or dissipate. It would be great to make some more progress with the Free Unknown. Each sequence is taking about 12 minutes, so we can get around 5 an hour done, which means we have something like 6 hours of flying left to do to finish the Programme. Its 1345 here now, which means its unlikely we will get the Free Unknown completed unless we can start at 1400 and fly beyond the 1900 curfew. But everything is set-up here ready to go as soon as the weather improves, so lets hope we can get some flying done today.
