Data Evaluation
Overall quality is good
Substantial but intermittent GPS navigation dropouts.
Channels 49 and 50 have been swapped.
Severe buffeting is evident in video data due to altitude changes during cycling.
AC power shutdown during flight due to overheat. Aircraft never got to full altitude. AC power cycling did effect the data stream at 1152 hrs GMT. There is a continuous data stream with no reported dropped scanlines, however video data does appear to have some missing scanlines. There are erroneous roll values at this time as well.
