Scott: | I've got 49,500, left turn, 3 "g's, 64, 3 "g's", release. I got that at about 48,000, losing altitude a little bit, gaining speed. |
Chase: | Rog. |
Scott: | 4048 with the yaw off, you can see that rolling, very light steady rolling, got the Q holding. |
Chase: | Rog. |

Scott: | OK, 250 was the first point, right? |
Chase: | Affirmative . |

Chase: | Rog, next point. |
Scott: | Then we go on to 300, is it? |
Chase: | 230. |
Scott: | 230, roger. OK, that roll doesn't count, 230 yaw pulse, pitch pulse, left and right roll ....... |
