Motivation to use F20 in addition to G-II Retrieve in situ IWC on
F20 flight level (-50C, -30C, -10C). Validate the Doppler cloud
radar estimates of IWC in HighIWC regions (retrieved from
reflectivity and Doppler velocity) using G-II and Falcon 20 in situ
data. And use the validated radar estimates to take advantage of
the vertical resolution of the cloud radar to extrapolate the IWC
& PSD in situ data (G II & F20 trajectories) for the new
icing envelope calculations. December 2012EASA.2011.OP.28Page 4

in September 2012 On September 18th NASA management, procurement
and legal personnel visited FTA. They briefed NASA on FTA's
financial capability as it relates to its ability to perform the
contract. On September 25th FTA communicated to their employees not
to report to work until further notice. To reduce risk exposure to
NASA and its partners all government (and partner) provided
equipment at FTA were moved to the fullest extent possible to NASA
DFRC for storage. Shipment of equipment started on September 26th.
Note: EASA-HighIWC / HIWC / HAIC meeting held on September 24th,
2012 with the objective to review contingency plan(s) and define

in October 2012 On October 19, 2012 NASA issued a contract
termination notice to Flight Test Associates. NASA and Environment
Canada have secured all equipment on the aircraft including the
instrument racks and associated avionics. Some items were not
removed from the aircraft (i.e. satcom antenna) as they were too
integrated into the aircraft. Threshold Aviation Group (TAG)
ferried the Gulfstream N81RR to the Chino Airport on November 3 rd,

held on November 20th, 2012 No viable options for the G-II, or
other NASA A/C, to support a 2014 field campaign The only viable
option for a backup to the G-II contract aircraft is the High
Altitude Ice Crystal (HAIC) European Union project Falcon 20
atmospheric research platform pending IKP re- design and additional
F/H Although the Falcon-20 will address many HIWC objectives, the
G-2 is also required to fulfill un- addressed or incompletely
addressed objectives as defined in Engine Harmonization WG meetings

in November 2012 NASA/FAA Top Management meeting held on November
20th, 2012 / CONCLUSION Both Associate Administrators ( FAA-
Aviation Safety and NASA- Aeronautics) support the objectives of
the HIWC flight research project and the continued development of
an aircraft option (the G-II is the most likely candidate) for a
full complement of instruments to conduct a field campaign in ice
crystal environments. It is presumed at this time that path will
take at least until 2015 and could have more than one deployment.
The outcome of the Falcon 20 contingency discussions is that both
the Associate Administrators want some additional information
before a final decision can be made December
