March 30,1982

A 3b two-ribbon flare occured in Hale Region No. 18280 on March 30,1982, beginning around 0523 UT along the filament F and it penetrated between the spot-umbrae A and B.The flare reached an impulsive phase at 0543 UT and it almost completely covered the umbrae. This huge event might have triggered another impulsive 2b flare,west of the spots A and B as seen in 0603 UT frame.Notice also the repid spread of the flare emission over the spot-umbrae A and B.During the maximum phase,a bright loop L appeared joining the region AB to a nearly western region as seen distinctly in 0546 UT frame.
