Jim Lovell (CDR)

Roger. Okay. We've just about got roll.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

13, Houston. We see you now in the AUTO maneuver. How are your error needles looking now?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. They look like they are working their way in, Vance.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. You think maybe they are working right now?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Yes. Because we got a 270-degree roll, our pitch and yaw needles are reversed.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Say, how do you read, Vance? …

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Fred, you are starting to fade out. Request AFT OMNI, OMNI AFT.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. You've got AFT OMNI.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay, Houston; Aquarius. We appear to be there—at the burn attitude. And now do you want us to change the DAP?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger, Jim. We have a procedure to give you for widening the deadband to 5 degrees for the PTC in the next 3 or 4 hours, if you're ready to copy.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. VERB 21, NOUN 01, ENTER; 3011, ENTER; 44, ENTER. Now, that's the procedure for widening the deadband to 5 degrees with the DAP. Later on, prior to the burn, you would return the deadband to 1.4 degrees, and if you're ready to copy, I'll read you that.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. To return the deadband later to 1.4 degrees: VERB 21, NOUN 01, ENTER; 3011, ENTER; 200, ENTER. Over.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, Vance. To widen the deadband, we'll enter a VERB 21, NOUN 01, ENTER; 3011, ENTER; 44, ENTER. Before the burn to go back to narrow deadband, it's VERB 21, NOUN 01, ENTER; 3011, ENTER; 200, ENTER.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger, Readback correct.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

And, Houston, I'll guess we'll do this PTC in yaw, and do you want them all powered down?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, that's affirm. You'll be doing the PTC in yaw, and we'll give you a call at each time you change yaw—yaw attitude. Aside from that, request low bit rate off; then DOWN VOICE BACKUP OFF; then POWER AMPL OFF; and then FDAI OFF.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, Vance. On the power down, we go low bit rate; DOWN VOICE BACKUP, we'll pull the POWER AMPL breaker; and we'll power down the FDAI and the AC.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

That's affirm. And the AOT, too.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay, are you all set for old a -

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, Houston; Aquarius. How do you read DOWN VOICE BACKUP?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Reading you loud—loud and clear now, Fred.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Oh, Vance, do you want to stay in this attitude for a certain length of time before we start maneuvering?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger. Jim, we'll keep you there for about an hour, and then we'll have our first 90-degree rotation.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. How wide do I make the deadband?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

… the other OMNI's in.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Yes. My forward OMNI is in.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Apollo 13, Houston. Forward OMNI should be best.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

I don't see why the hell he …

Fred Haise (LMP)

I know. I don't know. I don't know where that 5 degrees …

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Oh-h. … that thing against the …

Jim Lovell (CDR)

I'm just going to try and close my eyes for a little.
