It will still high at 10k, we ended up loading the old SFMR file (3.95?) but called it 4.16 so it would load. Values were about 5 kts low vs. half as high. New 5307 GAF table values were pretty off at FL240 vs. charts and sonde. Found that old GAF table was better for RA and new GAF table was better for GPS systems so used a blend for the best values.Systems lined up with this adjustment and vs. systems check sonde very well. Using blend, at 700mb A-F were 3175, 3177, 3174, 3173, 3175 and 3169 vs a sonde of 3173. Stayed with E for entire flight. Center drop sonde for first pass was bad, circled back in to drop another. System very vertically tilted. NOAA Jet and P3 were in storm at same time.
