• Safety issues and Pilot In Command overrule this Decision Tree. • Alternative sortie may be a subset of lines from the originally-planned sortie. • There will be no coordination between L and P-band instruments for the

May-June deploy.

May/June (instruments operating separately) •  P Band:

o  Weather go/no-go 4 hours before TO.

•  L Band:

o  Go/no-go telecom will be held on the day of the flight at 0800L.

ü  Rationale: dynamic weather, morning fog call for a telecom in the morning of the flight.

o  Ground crew will show up before weather go/no-go.

ü  Rationale: need to start prepping the jet to meet 1000L TO.

o  TO can slide to no later than 1300L. Aircraft must land by 1930L.

ü  Rationale: need to meet 12-hour crew duty day.

Potential Sorties

•  Pilots may shift sorties by no more than +/-1 day to adapt to weather events and restricted areas.

Rationale: coordination with field crew. •  There is no need to notify field crew if TO is delayed. Rationale: field crew will not be collecting data simultaneously with flights.

Weather go/no-go criteria: [Mahta et al.]:
