-==== Editing Pitot Wing Data - CapeEx19 ====
+===== Editing Pitot Wing Data - CapeEx19 =====
+==== Reason for editing ====
+  - During ongoing aircraft field research in Florida in 2019, the aircraft's wing pitot sensor was found to be providing erroneous readings.
+  - During the creation of the physical file, the process_all script consolidates the CIP pitot pressure into the wing pitot pressure spot; consequently, the anomalous data is utilized to generate the .basic.raw file.
+  - The CIP pitot pressure is about 10 mb lower than the nose pitot pressure.
+=== How to remove the corrupted data ===
+  - Connect to vpn.ndus.edu through Global Protect
+  - Open and log into the Littlestorm server through PuTTY.
+  - After logging in, type in the command: **cd /nas/und/Florida/2019/Aircraft/CitationII_N555DS/FlightData**
+  - After going to the FlightData directory, look inside it for a subdirectory named after the specific date of flight you want to see. For instance, I chose the 20190803_142455 flight data to make changes.
+  - After selecting the directory of interest, type: **cd PostProcessing**
+  - Navigate to the **.physical.raw.gz** file.
+=== Editing the file and data inside it: ===
+   - First, if the file is compressed, meaning it is in .gz format, then decompress it using the command: **gunzip 19_08_03_14_24_55.physical.raw**
+   - Once the file is in decompressed form, type: **aplot 19_08_03_14_24_55.physical.raw**
+   - This command will open ADPAA Aplot.
+   - Select **'Pitot_Wing'** and then **XY Plot**
+   - To look at the time interval of this flight, click the Tools tab located at the top of the bar.
+   - Under the Tools section, click **"Statistics"**. A side window will be opened, which displays the X-span (time interval).
+   - Notice the Minimum and Maximum time.
+   - Under the File tab, go to the "Add Edit" option.
+   - Type the **minimum time** as Start Time and the **maximum time** as End Time.
+   - Type in the editor name
+   - Select the parameter as Pitot_Wing
+   - Then, please specify the reason for making the edit. For example, I might indicate "Not connected, negative values."
+   - Click **"Store Edit info"**. This will create a .physical.edits file in the directory you are in.
+   - Proceed to the File tab and select **"Apply edits"**. This action will generate a .physical.cleans file within the directory.
+   - The physical. cleans file will exclude data from the Pitot_wing sensor.
