Citation Flight Summary for the flight of 8/13/99.

After having had the TRMM missions called down for the day, 
the Citation flew a wind system calibration flight. The 
aircraft took off at 0315 Z and flew reverse tracks at 
various airspeeds and altitudes, going from 10,000 ft to 
30,000 ft. In addition there were a series of maneuvers 
carried out at 25,000 ft. The data gathered during this 
time is used to check the calibration of the wind system. 
There was some discussion between the Ops Center and the 
Citation personnel regarding a flyby of a ship, but this 
was deemed to be impractical and the aircraft returned to 
base and landed at 0556 Z. The total time flown was 2.6 
hrs.

Data Quality. As there were no clouds of interest and the 
objective was for calibration of the air motion measurement 
system, only the relevant state parameters and air motion 
measurements were on during the flight. These all appeared 
to be functioning normally.
