No. We don't want you to do that. Read me your FDAI angles, and let's compare them with what we have down here.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. You're looking at them in the DSKY. I've got roll of 8.47; pitch of about 0.51; and yaw looking at about 3.750.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim. Those are very close—I guess all you need to do is trim them up a bit.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim. For fuel conservation, we'd prefer you to trim it up MIN IMPULSE, and there's really very little trim required; and then go ahead and do it AGS. We're on the expected fuel usage, but we're just being old ladies about it.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. Understand. My only question, Joe, is the fact that both the roll and the yaw needles did not go to null when I did an AUTO maneuver. I'd tried to go manually to the attitude; and then went to AUTO, but the roll and the yaw do not come in at all.

And, Houston, Aquarius. I'm not sure that if I follow and null the needles, that will be the proper attitude.

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Stand by 1, Jim. We're talking about it. It's going to be very close; in any event, close enough.

And, Jim, just for your information, I have the entry pad. I have the landing area weather summary, which you probably don't even have to copy, but which I'll read up to you when you're ready; and some stars for Jack that I'm holding for him for later on.

And, Joe, Jack says all the injector temperatures, he just checked them again, and they're all over 3.9 —

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)

You can tell him that it's looking good to us. They were even happy with the previous ones.

Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
And, my only question, Houston, is do you want me to null the PGNS needle manually?
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Yes. I guess the basic question is comparing the balls here and out the window it doesn't look too unreasonable, and I guess Jim says the COAS is yawed and roll slightly off from what he might eyeball; but yet, the FDAI air needles for PGNS are showing a full scale left in roll and full scale left in yaw. …
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Yes. It appears if we track those we, obviously, aren't going to be on the attitude that we burned the last midcourse.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Well, this attitude we passed you is not quite alined to the terminator, and stand by on this.

Oh, we're getting there, Jim. We're—we're all agreed that you're almost, but not quite, in the proper attitude, and we're just trying to get you one firm recommendation on how to proceed from here.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. I have nulled the null—roll needle and the pitch needle now and I'm yawed—rolled left now. I'm rolled left about 9 degrees.
