ECS was right on the money, no problem at all . Max Q we ' ve already stated . The cabin s ealed a little bit high like they said it would . I forget the number. It was about 5.8. About 5.8 or 9 and just gradually dwindled back down . And just after we got in there by the time I looked at it again after insertion everything it bled down on our gage to 4.9, our gage read a little low . I think the actual reading , you will pr obably find the cabin actually was 5.1 1 but the whole rest of t he flight the gage never budged off the 4.9. The gage stayed right there like it was glued . The wind shear , we had none and , certainly nothing that we could tell , but as I understand we ' ve been told that for that day anyway we had almost negible wind shear. DCS updates were right on time . You had two updates? 1 plus 45 , 2 plus 25 . 2 , 9 Engine 1 Operat i on Cooper The engine 1 operation couldn ' t have been better, ----~~K)ENTIAL
