Flight plan#

  • The flight is planned to take off at 2024-09-03 15:00:00+00:00 UTC and land at 2024-09-03 18:30:00+00:00 UTC.

  • Flight track has coordination with HALO.

  • Two options possible

    • 1: Standard MAESTRO flight pattern from WP1 to WP2 with takeoff at 15:00 UTC

    • 2: ‘Millefeuille’ flight pattern (lower-troposphere only, multiple levels) to better sample shallow convection from WP1 to WP3 with takeoff at 18 UTC.

  • Slight change in ATR circle location has been requested
