25 NOV81 - Flight Planning mtg (Y, Cr, E, T, L, F, Kranz)

(1) try to relieve PDP timeline by eliminating some procedures & delaying some to CAP:

• delete 1st IMU align (no longer req. for "Go for ORBIT")
make evening CAP alignment 1st of crew day

• make 1st mnvr on the PRCS (rather than wait for VRCS to warm up)

• delete COAS Cal … it worked (with ~ same bias) on STS-1 & -2.

• delete FC purge - remove it from go/no go, & make evening FC purge the 1st of crew day 

• no need to cycle the doors
----------

• launch with the teleprinter hooked up & audio panels in teleprinter configuration

• delete most of mid-deck "unstowing" bubble … unstow minimal # of things

• perform PL activation from the ground (to the extent possible)

• stow theodolite upstairs?

(2) desired changes to the CAP

• add 15 min in morning & afternoon of each day for each crewman, for "housekeeping."
