Crew engineering ASE test

Abstract

This is an unscheduled ATM dealing with the results of changes made as required by the ASE deployment during acceptance testing of the E-2C Training Model. The specific test performed by Crew Engineering was the one associated with pull forces on the central station during thumper deployment; however, that test provided an opportunity to evaluate some of the changes recommended earlier and incorporated into the Qual Model hardware used for performing this test. This ATM contains a discussion of the background, purpose, hardware used, facility, procedures and test condition sand recommendations.
