NASA pilot Kurt Blankenship reviews flight plans during the pre-flight brief to gather Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast data using NASA’s Pilatus PC-12 at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California on Sept. 23, 2024.
NASA pilot Kurt Blankenship maps out flight plans during a pre-flight brief. Pilots, crew, and researchers from NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California and NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland are briefed on the flight plan to gather Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast signal data between the aircraft and ping-Stations on the ground at NASA Armstrong. These flights are the first cross-center research activity with the Pilatus-PC-12 at NASA Armstrong.
