and practice sampling will take place fror.l

L-3 days to L-2 days. Cessna 402 will depart

PAF8 at L-20 min. and proceed to a holding

pattern southwest of the Skid Strip at 1500 ft.

At approximately L+2 min. Cessna 402 will

proceed to Pad A to begin sampling. Sampling

will terminate at approximately L+3 hrs.

I3. Ir;\p<lct Limit Lines (ILLs)

1. ESMC HanCJe Safety has designated the launch ILLs

depicted in the enclosed figure. The ILLs originate

at 28 deg 39' 53"N, 00 deg 44' 53"W. From this p::>int

they extend north on a hearing of 000 degrees true

and southeast on a bearing of 131 degrees true.

2. ~o aircraft may ue to the east of the ILLs at L-O.

No aircraft may proceed east of the ILLs after L-O

without approval by the Range Safety Officer (RSO).

RSO approval for NASA 402 and the T-38 chase aircraft

to proceed east of the ILLs after launch will be

relayed through the SRO/VC. For a nominal launch,

such RSO approval will be granted at approximately

L+2 minutes. In the event of a contingency mission

after launch, the RSO must approve deployment of the

rescue aircraft. The esc will request such clearance

through the SRO.
