FLIGHT LIST
Case studies of the CAT warning algorithm will be performed on data selected from the flights listed below.
The following information is listed for each flight (where that information is available):
Column 1: Flight number within the mission
Column 2: Flight date, entered in the YYMMDD format.
Column 3: Flight duration, entered as kiloseconds (from near take-off to landing).
Column 4: CAT intensity is entered as a number, according to the
following code:
5 = Severe
4 = moderate/Severe
3 = Moderate
2 = Light/Moderate
1 = Light
0 = Smooth
The flights having "?" entries will be assigned a CAT intensity category
after I conduct an analysis correlating pilot-reported intensity with accelerometer
characteristics. Some flights have more extensive pilot reports of
CAT than given below.
Column 5: The first location is for the take-off airport, and
if a second location is given (i.e., CA/HI) the second one is for the destination
airport. For long flights the direction for the farthest point
is indicated by a compass direction (i.e., CA/ne = from CA to the northeast,
and return). Local flights are designated with "l" (i.e, CA/l). Some
location abbreviations:
CA = Califonia (Ames Research Center)
HI = Hawaii (Barber's Point Naval Air Station)
AK = Alaska (Fairbanks)
NR = Norway (Stavanger)
IC = Iceland (Reykjavik)
NZ = New Zealand (Christchurch)
FJ = Fiji (Nandi)
AU = Australia (Darwin)
WUS = Western US (when a large region of the West is covered)
PA = Punta Arenas, Chile
Wal = Wallops Island, VA
ME = Maine (Bangor)
KS = Kansas (Salinas)
TH = Tahiti
Can = Canada
MB = Melbourne, Australia
TV = Townsville, Australia
Ok = Okinawa Island
IR = Ireland (Killarney)
Az = Azores
EI = Easter Island
NP = North Pole
Column 6: Pilot-reported CAT descriptions; they are verbatim records
of what the pilot stated during the post-flight pilot debrief, PD.
For the DC-8 flights if an MTP operator was aboard (which was the case
for all but the AVSAR mission) entries are taken from the flight notes,
FN, of the MTP operator. For occasions when neither a pilot report
, or an MTP operator report, are available, I will use the MTP accelerometer
data to assign a CAT intensity. This requires use of an empirical
relationhip between cases with subjective intensity reports and objectively
measured accelerometer PkPk (peak-to-peak vertical accelerometer reading
range during a 15-second observing cycle).
