-Before tow out, John and Ivana ohm-ed out PLWC element (pass); opened side and bottom panel/plate of LW pylon, no visible issues of PLWC connections.
-Engine bleed air issue at startup; troubleshooting with engines running resolved issue
-2DS probe shut off after takeoff: No 28V and voltage/amp meters on plate were blank, but computer lights were still on on. Restarted 2DS (28V off, pulled all breakers out, pushed breakers back in, 28V on). Re-opened 2DS VNC and Spec software was open; 2DS showed data recording without clicking red triangle record button.
-PLWC recording ~0 Watts
