03 02 23 32
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. Okay. We've just about got roll.
03 02 26 41
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. We see you now in the AUTO maneuver. How are your error needles looking now?
03 02 26 50
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. They look like they are working their way in, Vance.
03 02 26 54
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. You think maybe they are working right now?
03 02 27 00
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes. Because we got a 270-degree roll, our pitch and yaw needles are reversed.
03 02 27 06
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay.
03 02 27 22
Fred Haise (LMP): Say, how do you read, Vance? …
03 02 27 28
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Fred, you are starting to fade out. Request AFT OMNI, OMNI AFT.
03 02 27 37
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. You've got AFT OMNI.
03 02 27 39
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Thank you.
03 02 28 34
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): 13, Houston.
03 02 28 53
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?
03 02 29 01
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.
03 02 29 13
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, stand by.
03 02 29 29
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead.
03 02 29 30
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.
03 02 30 11
Jim Lovell (CDR): Stand by.
03 02 30 13
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay.
03 02 30 38
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead.
03 02 30 40
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. To return the deadband later to 1.4 degrees: VERB 21, NOUN 01, ENTER; 3011, ENTER; 200, ENTER. Over.
03 02 31 03
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.
03 02 31 22
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger, Readback correct.
03 02 32 30
Jim Lovell (CDR): And, Houston, I'll guess we'll do this PTC in yaw, and do you want them all powered down?
03 02 32 45
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Stand by.
03 02 33 06
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Apollo 13. Over.
03 02 33 11
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead.
03 02 33 13
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.
03 02 33 42
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.
03 02 33 55
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): That's affirm. And the AOT, too.
03 02 34 59
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, are you all set for old a -
03 02 35 02
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Houston; Aquarius. How do you read DOWN VOICE BACKUP?
03 02 35 07
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Reading you loud—loud and clear now, Fred.
03 02 35 13
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
03 02 35 18
Jim Lovell (CDR): Oh, Vance, do you want to stay in this attitude for a certain length of time before we start maneuvering?
03 02 35 26
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger. Jim, we'll keep you there for about an hour, and then we'll have our first 90-degree rotation.
03 02 35 36
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. How wide do I make the deadband?
03 02 35 52
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Say again.
03 02 37 15
Jim Lovell (CDR): … the other OMNI's in.
03 02 37 27
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes. My forward OMNI is in.
03 02 37 29
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. Forward OMNI should be best.
03 02 37 36
Fred Haise (LMP): We're there.
03 02 39 14
Jim Lovell (CDR): I don't see why the hell he …
03 02 39 19
Fred Haise (LMP): I know. I don't know. I don't know where that 5 degrees …

03 02 40 24
Jim Lovell (CDR): Oh-h. … that thing against the …
03 02 42 15
Jim Lovell (CDR): I'm just going to try and close my eyes for a little.
03 02 42 19
Fred Haise (LMP): Go ahead.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
03 02 50 37
Fred Haise (LMP): Go ahead.
03 02 50 39
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Fred, one—one point on the PTC requests that, about an hour or less from now when you make your 90-degree change, that you do it in PGNS AUTO as opposed to ATT HOLD. Reason is that if you're in ATT HOLD, it establishes a new null point each time you stop the—the maneuver. Over.
03 02 51 10
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. You want us to make the maneuver with PGNS AUTO rather than the PGNS ATT HOLD. Is that right?
03 02 51 18
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Yes. That's correct.
03 02 51 33
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): And, Fred, advise that it—it is a manual maneuver.
03 02 51 53
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. You'd be using X-axis override. It will be a manual maneuver, but with the PGNS AUTO mode.
03 02 52 07
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
03 02 52 10
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): And if you're ready to copy, Charlie is going to be on in a minute with some recommended checklist changes for your upcoming burn. Over.
03 02 52 25
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Stand by 1.
03 02 52 26
Jim Lovell (CDR): I'm going to erase this.
03 02 53 19
Charlie Duke: Hello, Aquarius; Houston. Do you read? Over.

03 02 54 16
Charlie Duke: Houston. This is Houston, Aquarius. Say again. Over.
03 02 54 23
Fred Haise (LMP): Houston, Aquarius. Which book do you want me to update here, Charlie, the contingency QR DPS?
03 02 54 38
Charlie Duke: Okay, Fred-o, we'd like you to get out the contingency checklist; turn to page 1, the 2-hour activation. Over.
03 02 54 51
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. I'm right there.
03 02 54 54
Charlie Duke: Okay. On page 1, the only thing we have to do is EPS Activation, step 2, CB(16) EPS: DISPLAY, CLOSE. Over.
03 02 55 18
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. On page 1, we need EPS DISPLAY, CLOSE, under EPS Activation, step 2.
03 02 55 27
Charlie Duke: Okay. Turning over to page 2, we'd like you to complete step 5 and step 6 with the following changes. POWER/TEMP MONITOR, AC BUS, INVERTER 2, then INVERTER 1. Fourth line CB(11), EPS: INVERTER 2, OPEN. Over.
03 02 56 08
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, on step number—or page 2, we should do step 5 and modify step 6 second line to read INVERTER 2, then INVERTER 1, to the last line of step 6 CB(11), EPS INVERTER 2, OPEN.
03 02 56 30
Charlie Duke: Okay. That will be on CB(16), Fred-o, but it's INVERTER 2 OPEN. Okay, on the Mission Timer Activation. Do step 1, correction, lines 1 and 2. Omit “set mission timer on CSM mark” and insert a VERB 16, NOUN 65, set mission timer. Over.
03 02 57 04
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. We'll do the Mission Timer Activation except we'll set it on VERB 16, NOUN 65.
03 02 57 11
Charlie Duke: Okay. Proceeding on to step, correction, page 3, CWEA checkout. Step 1, perform step 1. Warning lights will be ASCENT PRESS, CES AC, and CES DC. Under the caution lights, we may have a heater light. And that's all. Okay, perform—under the circuit breaker 16 —
03 02 57 46
Fred Haise (LMP): I can't understand you. I'll switch OMNIs.
03 02 57 49
Charlie Duke: Say again. Over.
03 02 57 54
Fred Haise (LMP): I'm going to switch to OMNIs here, Charlie, you're starting to fade out.
03 02 58 00
Charlie Duke: Understand. Switching OMNIs. Over.
03 02 58 02
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. How do you read? …, how do you read me now?
03 02 58 08
Charlie Duke: Okay, you're a little better. How me? Over.
03 02 58 14
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Houston. Coming in loud and clear. I got your caution/warning checkout, step 1, do; the warning lights we'll have will be ASCENT PRESS, CES AC, CES DC. The only caution lights we may have will be a heater light and go ahead and proceed from there.
03 02 58 32
Charlie Duke: Okay, good. The component light, we won't have the H₂O SEP. Okay, on CB(16) right under that, “HEATER DISPLAY, CLOSE,” you can scratch that out. Perform all of step 2 and perform step 4 with the following changes. On panel 11, under AC BUS B, are you ready to copy? Over.

Charlie Duke: Roger. Good readback. Okay, continuing on. Nothing on page 6; nothing on page 7. Nothing on page 8 or 9. Nothing on page 10 or 11. On page 12, we want the—to perform —
03 03 05 59
Fred Haise (LMP): Hold it. Hold on just a minute, Charlie.
03 03 06 01
Charlie Duke: Okay.
03 03 06 18
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Go ahead, page 12. I'm there.
03 03 06 21
Charlie Duke: Okay Fred-o. On page 12, we want the MSFN updates. We've got some vectors for you and a P30 pad. And we'll—when you get to that state, we'll let you know when we want to uplink. Okay. Under “AGS Activation and Self Test,” perform the entire procedure. On page 13, under “AGS Aline,” do step 1; under “DAP Set, Gimbal/Throttle Test,” do step 1 with the following change. Under “THROTTLE CONTROL,” we want it “AUTO.” Over.
03 03 07 13
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. I'll catch up here. On page 12, you'll give us MSFN updates, some vectors, and a P30; and we're to do the entire “AGS Activation and Self Test.” On page 13, we'll do the “AGS Align” and under “DAP Set, Gimbal/Throttle Test,” step 1, I've changed “THROTTLE CONTROL MANUAL” to “THROTTLE CONTROL AUTO.”
03 03 07 43
Charlie Duke: Good readback. Turning over to page 14, step 2, we want you to change the DAP NOUN 46 to 31021. Then after the NOUN 47, insert “VERB 34, ENTER.” Over.
03 03 08 15
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. On page 14, a VERB 48, DAP load, NOUN 46 changed to 31021. I assume you will give us any updated weights if we need any, and after the NOUN 47, a “VERB 34, ENTER.” So, I—you're saying our gimbals look all right.
03 03 08 35
Charlie Duke: That's affirmative on the gimbals, Fred. Nothing else on page 14. Proceed to page 15, and under “RCS CHECKOUT,” we'd like to scratch that wording and just say “Verify the following switches: GUIDANCE CONTROL, PGNS;” step 3—correction—it's line 3, change “ATTITUDE CONTROL (3)” to “MODE CONTROL;” “MODE CONTROL (BOTH)” to “AUTO.” Verify ACA PROP, LMP ENABLE; ACA/4 JET, LMP ENABLE; TTCA/TRANSLATION, LMP, ENABLE. That is all on page 15. Over.
03 03 09 45
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. On page 15, we'll change the heading “RCS CHECKOUT” to “Verify following switches,” and those switches are “GUIDANCE CONTROL, PGNS;” third line, “ATTITUDE CONTROL (3)” to “MODE CONTROL” now; and then “MODE CONTROL (BOTH)” to “AUTO” and ACA PROP, LMP ENABLE; ACA/4 JET, LMP ENABLE; and TTCA/TRANSLATION, LMP ENABLE.
