2/12 6 GMT interaction on climb 550 m

Created by: waite @ 2025-02-07 17:54:31Action Needed

Noticed attitude_rev being out of surface at the last two beh_error aborts for failed to open log file. Not sure if attitude_rev is part of the abort cause, or if it is just coincidence. Should look at other gliders aborts and see if attitude_rev is also out of service for the beh_error logging aborts.

Not sure why this happening after science transfer.

CTD off at surface, see if that helps with logging aborts.
