|
|
Rushworth: |
Roger.
Doing a sideslip. On computer data now. |
|
|
NASA
1: |
Roger.
And you seem to be drifting a little more to the right of track now. |
|
|
Rushworth: |
..........
coming down, speed brakes out. |
|

above zero. H dot is -10. Inertial velocity came to zero when we did. Fox
source is zero, tanks are zero. Pump inlet zero. #2 is zero. Peroxide is
560. APU sources, #1 is 25, #2 is 26. Hydraulics are 30. Cabin source is
1450. #1 and #2 APU bearings, -45 and -50. Mixing chambers, #1 APU is floating
