We're still wrangling over who didn't do what. Most of it is probably my fault: I'd been saying for weeks that we were going to need an RCO, because I would be tracking. I expected that someone would step up to the plate and assume my duties, but I didn't take responsibility for selecting and training my alternate. So no one did the job the way I had been doing it. >If this is so how can you coordinate when folks are not in one place? I don't understand the question. You call out each item on the radio. If the person doing that task isn't in the blockhouse, he acknowledges the task on the radio, does the task, then reports the task complete on the radio. That way everyone everywhere knows what's going on. >Sequences can get confused. That turned out to be the easy part this time around. The actual mechanics of prepping and launching a rocket are becoming routine. The people working on the rocket don't need the checklist to get the job done, though going through it ensures that the job gets done right. The checklist is mainly to give structure to the overall operation. -R -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The only time an aircraft has too much fuel on board is when it is on fire." -Sir Charles Kingsford Smith _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
