Chase: | Looks good. |
Scott: | I'm all in business and coming level with a little buffet at 41,000 - speed .......... pitch pull - |
Chase: | Everything looks good, Scott. |
Scott: | Roger - thank you - better cross the board - |
NA: | Just a hair right if you want to make up that long run - |
Scott: | Roger - am I on right, or do you want me to go right? |
NA: | Just a hair right. |
Scott: | I'm 45 and another pitch pulse. 1.5 - pushing over - 50, pitch pulse - ON, starting a left turn. |
NA: | Roger. |
Scott: | .......... 3 g .......... about 48,500 on that, speed's off .......... about 15. |
NA: | Final pullout, 440 yaw off. |
Scott: | 48, very rapid marginal rolling - speed-holding it, climbing at 42, enter the turn - what's the matter, you guys, couldn't get that maneuver without SAS fitting? |
NA: | 440 - yaw off. |
Scott: | Roger - pitch pulse - this one didn't count, 300 knots, going to 3 cycles - going down - 250 - pulse down - ........... Really kills some altitude here. |
Chase: | Jettison - |
Scott: | I've jettisoned - altimeter setting please - |
Ground: | Altimeter setting 30.16 - winds now are west at 3 MPH - they have come in as much as 10. |
Scott: | Got you - damper ON - ventral's ON -.......... jettisoning. |
NA: | .......... |
Scott: | .......... on down wind. |
NA: | Tank pressurize - I didn't hear you, Scotty. |
Scott: | Tank to pressurize รน you know I didn't even have it on my list here, Buddy! OK, SAS off for evaluation - sign off for down wind. |
NA: | Any instrumentation? |
Scott: | Instrumentation is on, QC - I find it a little spongy in this configuration - calibrate - ventral .......... flaps .......... and gear .......... |
NA: | Real good, Scott, will you calibrate the instrumentation after your roll out please and turn the data switch off? |
Scott: | Sure will, Buddy, and I goofed on the rudder direction. |
NA: | OK, no sweat - calibrate the instrumentation - turn the data switch off after you stop. |
