What was this call? About a min. before MECO, they told the PLT to
expect a nominal shutdown.. never heard that call before -
What would something non-nominal be? Were they referring to abort modes
or something else?


I'm guessing that the call meant propulsion performance was as
expected, and that shutdown would occur at the predicted time.
In other words, no surprises were expected.
