Additional Information
The objective of this flight was to overfly sunphotometer sites in Cuiaba and Ji-Parana; and then to observe the transition from relatively smoke-free Mato Grasso to heavily smoke-filled Rondonia.

The pilot observed a very strong fire north of Cuiaba and encountered so much turbulence that the plane rose 1000 feet without doing anything to the throttle.
