Send email requeting meeting
Hi Pete, I have sent through invoices for the last three surveys (VDP_AU_2019-6, VDP_AU_2019-7 and AUS2019c). The latter two, are post our agreement on the 5th November in regard our discussion on day rate (see below). When would be a good time to discuss this? Note I also have expenses for the latter two missions, but I am having a -lot- of trouble with them in Quickbooks. I will submit them as soon as I can. Sincerely, Glen

Pete Agreed on the basis that whatever is agreed upon is back dated.
Hi Pete, I just got home after another big day... Thank you for your reply. I am ok to park this until after these installs, as long as you are ok that these installs will be covered by the rate we negotiate.
Hi Glen, Thanks for the detailed email, there are a lot of points to go through here and I think it best to do that once the dust has settled after the next couple of weeks when the acquisitions programs are up and running. In terms of "installation/engineering" work for project surveys, if you feel you are not remunerated appropriately then I am open to what you feel is a reasonable rate moving forward.
2019 Nov 04
Said ok to discuss remuneration, with 25% of time on surveys being engineering days, but wait until after survey
Hi Pete, Further to our discussion this morning; I wanted to discuss some other things but we were not private in the office… In regard to my rate for operating, I have been ok with the rate for operating on the basis of how it has been in the past. That is, an installation with -some- issues, operating for at least a ~week/5 days then a pack down. I had a quick look over the VDP_AU_2019 diary and made some quick estimates (attached). I have been away on survey for 65 days. Of those days, 17 days were engineering/troubleshooting/installs. That is 25%! There were 8 non-fly days, most of which I was still contributing by documenting, organising etc. That is just ~10%. The week of the platform change over and install in Melbourne was not operating but significant engineering and installation efforts. I feel that for installation/engineering work that $400/day + $150 day is too low, significantly. For the platform week, if I was to add up the actual hours worked vs the effective hourly rate, it is a very good deal for Hyvista, and not great for me. Especially compared to the other project Sydney based work I have and am continually postponing to accommodate the survey work and Hyvista’s best interests. Steve volunteering what he is receiving to be the very same day rate, with only $50/day less in T.A. than what I am receiving. (FYI – we were not even talking about money or anything like that. Classic Steve thing to do.) In terms of training, regardless of who they are or how component they are, it is -significantly- more work/effort than just operating. It was for Clinton, and it will be for Peter, Will, or whoever. I could not help thinking, ‘I’ll should take $50/day less and do Steve’s job.’ With the complexities of these installations/troubleshooting, having a third person slows the process down. I hope you can understand that. (I can elaborate on that if you like?...) In regards to the Aubrey installation, by way of fact that it is a new aircraft it is going to be involved/complex; it is inevitable. While I understand your motivation to send Peter down with me, if you want this done fast, then I should go alone. This is my preference - It will give me the full headspace to focus on the one thing. I suggest that it would be better that he be involved with the Hymap install in JAJ, since it is a re-install in a familiar hanger/location. Also, please understand that while I can ‘sprint’ in bursts, as the days mount up end-to-end, I run out of ‘steam.’ I did my best to keep myself physically and mentally well. That week I ate very healthy; I avoided hot breakfasts, ate only vegetables, fish, sandwiches and did not drink at all. I was trying to do everything I could to optimise my mind and body knowing that it was going to be consecutive days of big physical and mental effort. I was totally worn-out after that week, and that directly lead to me becoming ill ( am far from 100% now), with wasted downtime. I had other things I needed to do last week, that I had already postponed from the week before. I also feel that having to pack up in such a short time, was very stressful and risky. You made a comment about being flexible, I believe I have been more than flexible with the countless trips that have all over-ran. With the rushed pack up a lot of corners were being cut. Rushing is risky and can lead to significant mistakes. I just hope that the Vexcel gets to Aubrey safely without being secured properly. I spent over an hour in the hotel in Melbourne sorting out the tools, and bits and pieces that were -shoved- into my bags, so that I could be prepared by next day for the GAM install. That was on top of arriving at ~10:30pm. Virgin did not serve a meal on the flight other than some crackers. The hotel only had limited food options at that time. I waited an hour for the food only to be told that I had to go reception to get it (that hotels policy). While the hotel had a washing service, it had to be sent out. I washed some clothes in the shower then hung them over the air-conditioned to dry in time. By the time I got to bed, it was well past midnight, to be up again at the crack of dawn to do it all again. It was too much. I am grateful for the work you and Terry have included me with. And for the most part, enjoyed the survey work and helping grow the business. A big negative factor has been working with Steve for countless reasons. If he was not in the equation for the last week, things would have been -a lot- better, however, I still feel my point are valid regardless. I am happy to discuss this when I see you next, via phone, or via email? Sincerely, Glen PS - As mentioned, could you please send the boilerplate insurance policy. I am thinking of getting some professional indemnity insurance.

(1) check the usb connections from the host to the SSD receptacle
Suggest test flight plan would be to fly a couple of lines with the HyMap01 Span and then (in flight) replace it with the HyMap02 Span and fly a couple of lines. Leave the HyMap02 Span on the HyMap for the survey.
(9) There are 3 ssd caddies. I think one needs formating but all should be checked and clean.
(8) Run FlightGUI and check if the correct date is shown on the GPS (there will be no INS info but should show "alighning")
Make sure you pack a GPS cable to go from the rack to the antenna in the aircraft
(7) Is the INS indicator LED flashing (on the front of HyMap)
(6) Using Engineering, check that all arrays are functioning nominally (note; there is one non-functioning detector is both SW1 and SW2)
(5) Cool down the dewars (as you would on survey)and note how they behaved (fast/slow to cool etc, How long they stayed cool)
(4) Reconnect all cables (don't use roof antenna and rojone)
(3) attach the SPAN (originally from HyMap 1). Screws are on the top of the laptop near the MS257)
(2) put the lid on (better with two people -- less chance of accidentally knocking the dewars)

PCB Component Loading
Investigate IntSpect buying a bonder and doing bonding in-house
Also look into Precision circuits for manufacture, since they list wire bonding as one of their capabilities.
Investigate Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication with consulting from miniFAB for bopard loading

Background
Nanomelbourne.com
<10Km (8mins) from miniFAB.
miniFAB
One possibility is the miniFAB could be consulted to either advise MCN with this or maybe do it at miniFAB.
The part that was somewhat special, however, is to do with the indium soldering/flex finger bending etc.
Regarding the work vs your/miniFAB’s specialist project-centric knowledge, most of the work was straightforward and would transfer well. While needing to check the documentation/logbooks, however, you feel that it was well captured.
He suggested that Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication (MCN) (http://nanomelbourne.com/) could do the work.
miniFAB: The company has grown, and they have moved away from this type of work. Apparently, there is not even a wire bonder in the lab anymore.

Postamp
Flex Connector: 51 way: 4spare pins: OK
Room at bottom of PCB for another opamp: OK
Preamp
It will be hard to fit another opamp on the current pcb size/layout. Possibly moving the bypass capacitors down and the main Gnd track up will make space. Alternatively the PCB can be increased in overall size. The board could be extended vertically, until its clearance impacts on the dewar base. There appears to be scope for modifying the base to accommodate such and increase. Similarly the PCB could be extended in width, which would require the coldfinger to also increase in size, and also possible effect on the dewar base.
Expand preamp permiter to make more room.
Fit another opamp on current size/layout?
Dewar Connector:
Change from micro D51 3 row hermetic connector to alternative. The current connector is very difficult to solder the flex to with three rows, and prone to cracking. The alternative could be Dsub50 (if not too big), or perhaps micro-d D51 2 row.

Thicker power cables to preamp/postamp.
Need to check the mods that were done, to see how that might affect the power/GND cabling. Possibly need enamelled wire separately.:
Cables
Postamp-(Gnd)->Preamp
Mil connector-(+/-v/Gnd)->Postamp
Mil connector-(+/-v)->Preamp
PCB: Postamp: Thicker tracks, big GND
Flex: Postamp to Mil (thicker tracks)
Channel-negative cross-talk
Add ground layer to prevent negative cross-talk
estimate effort to verify theory that postamp ground resistance is causing the issue.
Using silicon add extra ground wire(s) to postamp. Compare crosstalk pre and post modification.
