Many 2007 flight lines have problems with navigation sync (ie. they don't sync!). This appears to be due to missing sync messages in the .nav file, or a totally missing .nav file. A typical error looks like:

** NO Specim SYNC found after checking all files
** check file template and directory contents - no data saved

A procedure to correct for this is outlined in the specim processing guide but appears only to apply to azspec 1.1.3. We have azspec 1.1.2.

We need copies of the ATM, CASI, Eagle and Hawk calibration files as soon as possible in the year.

The expectation is that Chris MacLellan of FSF is going to calibrate the CASI (and Specim?) early Dec 2007.

Arrange this with Victoria @ NEODC. Probably all that needs doing is ensuring that PIs are signed up for NextMap at NEODC. Verify this is the case and that it's ok to distribute DEMs to them then.
