  1. RF01
    Tech: Richard Freeman
    Date: February 28 2024

    Taxi: 11:40
    Takeoff: 11:50
    Landing: 19:39


    Pre-Flight Notes
    - RSTT shows no power indicators on cover control box. RSTT signal is NAN.
    - SATCOM dropped out when beginning highspeed ground idle on taxi.
      -> SATCOM returned in flight shortly after takeoff.
    - L1-CCN display was non-functional throughout the flight. Display cut out on taxi. Was not able to restore in flight but returned after landing. Will need to inspect/replace HDMI cable on the ground.

    - PHIPS removed prior to flight.


    Flight Notes:
    - Start cameras scripts failed to start. 
    - 2DC (DSM325) variables dropped out sporadically throughout flight. Other DSM325 variables do not show any dropouts. 
    - DSM325 Temperature dropped to -2477.6 C consistent with ferry flight observations. Temperature sensor range likely exceeded as it dropped below 0 C.
    - CVI controller is overheating. Needs better ventilation within box. 
    - CVI Shutdown at 14:22. To conserve for later use in flight.
    - 14:50 - turned down the front zone heater. looks to be blowing directly onto the cvi box. 
    - 14:57 - cvi restarted. start of spiral descent.
    - disk space running low at end of flight. must be cleaned up before next flight. Per Janine camera scripts are filling up the whole volume per flight. Was essentially completely full when the data acquisition was stopped.

  2. Post flight Follow-up:

    • Reseated wires going to power plug for RSTT at 28V Instrument Power Strip. RSTT signal registering on the ground now. 
    • RSTT not mounted in cover window location for CAESAR, hence no power at control box.
    • Replaced HDMI cable on L1-CCN display.
    • Cabin heat ducting over R1-CVI rack redirected to point toward the back of the cabin.
