fine for two cartidges worth and then quit.
Was i t two or four?
I don't lmow, it was some l ow number.
Maybe it was
four.
Anyway, it quit fairly early in the flight .
The tape recorder was finished.
DCS.
Ok8iY, until
the last 30 minutes of the flight , the DCS couldn't
have been better.
The updates were good, the
ground coordination was f ine on i t .
The things
they gave us to put in the MDIU were given in a good
manner and were put in.
No problem. Pete got
them all loaded in fine .
No problem at all
until that last up-date we got from Carnarvon which
they updated us with our comput er a~d reentry con­
figuration, after we wer e all ready supposed to have
our last update from Houston and without telling
everybody to look on his board and see what mode
our computer was in, he sends this update which is
just about ... blew our cork there.
And which I
think at this point right now, having experienced
this one occasion of this happening at the worst
possible time it could happen in, my recommendation
right now to flight crews is that they fly the DCS
circuit breaker in the OFF position.
I concur.
