While the program office manages the aircraft inventory and modifications, CNATRA's transition team is completing phase one: developing the Super Hornet
flight profile. Phase two will begin with delivery of the first two modified Super Hornets, which will be flown by Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23 test pilots and former Blue Angels pilots to validate maneuvers, Bernacchi said.
GNSS carrier-phase data was simulated for each
flight profile at a rate of 10 Hz using the MATLAB SatNav toolbox [36], which was modified by Watson et al.
Pacelab
Flight Profile Optimizer is a unique decision support tool developed for a pilot's electronic flight bag (EFB) that's designed to continuously evaluate numerous flight data metrics thus optimizing flight paths for maximum efficiency.
The CVR has a recording of the last 30 minutes of the cockpit conversation while FDR has the complete
flight profile.
Investigators are poring over the
flight profile to determine if it had flown low and used "terrain masking" during most of the eight hours it was missing from the radar coverage of possibly at least three countries.

It was important that the wind-up turns be performed in exactly the same manner each time, for without consistency of
flight profile, the stall results could not be trusted to be comparable.
FMS help flight crews compute the most efficient
flight profile and automatically navigate the aircraft.
1/5/2011 SH-60F Aircraft damaged when main rotor blades impacted tree during Nap-of-the-Earth
flight profile. 1/30/2011 RQ-7B Propulsion system failure.
The second appendix contains twelve pages of National Transportation Safety Board information which examines American Airlines Flight 77
flight profile using information gleaned from the digital flight recorder recovered from debris within the Pentagon.
