    keyword=MCC called: confusion about ABU/BANU

    MCC called regarding our calculation of ABU/BANU from 2300 11/08/05 to 0700 11/09/05. I told him that my instructions were to calculate the relevant quantities in the following way:

    (1) start with 8 hours
    (2) subtract BANU
    (3) subtract all "long" beam downs
    (4) subtract 1 min for each beam trip

    for last night i got:


    2300:0000 14 trips, 2 min BANU
    0000:0100 7 trips, 2 min BANU
    0100:0200 17 trips, 2 min BANU
    0200:0300 6 trips, 2 min BANU
    0300:0400 6 trips, 1 min BANU, 9 min "long" down
    0400:0500 13 trips, 1 min BANU
    0500:0600 10 trips, 4 min BANU, 2 min "long" down
    0600:0700 10 trips, 1 min BANU, 7 min "long" down

    total 83 trips, 14 min BANU, 18 min "long down"

    which gives me:

    BNA = 1.62 hrs
    BANU = 0.30 hrs
    ABU = 6.08 hrs

    i reported:
    ABU = 6.00 hrs
    BANU = 0.22 hrs
