Flight plan - ATR-20240829a#
ec_under c_atrFlight plan#
The flight is planned to take off at 2024-08-29 13:50:00+00:00 UTC and land at 2024-08-29 17:20:00+00:00 UTC.
Flight track designed for coordination with EarthCare.
The KingAir will also fly with the ATR around
ec_meet
.From now own, flights in the subcloud layer will be done around 250m instead of 150m. This will better allow the study of the connection between boundary layer themrals and the cloud base. It will also active the low antennas of RASTA.
