 With revision 1957 an interface for virtual flight measurements is available in PALM. Virtual flights are performed according to the methods described in Schröter et al. (2000) and Sühring and Raasch (2013). 
 
-All parts of the related code are modularized in module virtual_flight_mod. In this context, a new Fortran NAMELIST {{{flight_par}}} was added, containing all related steering parameters. The flight module is automatically activated if a flight_par is set in the parameter file ({{{_p3d}}}).

+Flight measurements capture data of the three wind-velocity components (u, v, w).
+Moreover, as far as the respective switches are set in the parameter file ({{{_p3d}}}), also potential temperature, humidity, passive scalar, and liquid water content are measured. 
+In addition, a [../userint/output#part_6 user-interface] for the flight module is available, so that further user-defined quantities can be captured. \\
 
 '''Please note:''' Data output for virtual flights has 4 unlimited dimensions - time, x-, y-, and z-position. Unfortunately, assignment of more than one unlimited dimension per NC file is only possible with NetCDF4 / HDF5. For this reason [../d3par/#netcdf_data_format netcdf_data_format] must be > 2.
