Instrument Debrief for HAMSR
Sortie Number: 05-9034
Instrument Performance:
Flight over land in Mexico studying thunderstorms in mountain area, and AURA/AQUA over flight. On return, there were large thunderstorms near the airport, and pilot (Dave Wright) reported seeing lightning bolts shooting up vertically above the clouds and dissipating in a poof in apparently clear air. The changes to the +5V supply to the CPU that were made prior to this flight to boost the voltage to about 5.03V appear to have remedied the intermittent reboot issue previously noted. No issues were encountered either during pre-flight or in flight.
