Any updates?

Any updates?

It’s on its way and still transmitting. The plane is currently at 21.13N/69.62W, so it still has a ways to go. Should be at PTC6 before 9am EST.

Tropical Tidbits are getting data in from the first flight.

This maybe a stupid question. But what is meant by "A SYSTEM SURVEY PATTERN" FOR THE 10/2330Z REQUIREMENT?
Does it mean that they are just going to fly around the storm to survey it, but not directly into it or thru the possible center location? Or combination of both?
