Update... haha.. AF 306 is at about 500ft above the surface down there in SE Bahama's
looks like they passed a center at Time:18:09:30Z Coordinates: 21.9667N 74.9833W... so that could be the coc area.Product: Air Force Tropical RECCO Message (URNT11 KNHC)
Transmitted: 22nd day of the month at 18:08Z
Aircraft: Air Force Aircraft (Last 3 digits of the tail number are 306)
Mission Purpose: Investigate second suspect area (flight in the North Atlantic basin)
Mission Number: 2
Observation Number: 08
Mandatory Data...
Observation Time: Thursday, 18:06Z
Radar Capability: Yes
Aircraft Altitude: Below 10,000 meters
Coordinates: 22.1N 75.1W
Location: 151 miles (243 km) to the NNE (18°) from Santiago de Cuba, Cuba.
Turbulence: None
Conditions Along Flight Route: In the clear
Pressure Altitude: 180 meters
Flight Level Wind: From 330° at 13 knots (From the NNW at ~ 14.9 mph)
- The above is a spot wind.
- Winds were obtained using doppler radar or inertial systems.
Flight Level Temperature: 24°C
Flight Level Dew Point: 15°C
Weather (within 30 nautical miles): Shower(s) (continuous or intermittent precipitation - from cumuliform clouds)
Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSLP): 1008 mb (extrapolated)
Optional Data...
Estimated Surface Wind Direction: Bearing was unavailable.
Estimated Surface Wind Speed: 5 knots (~ 5.8 mph)
so it seems that we may have a weak TS with winds of 40mph and a pressure of 1008mb? Need more data to confirm tho...
