Preliminary analysis indicates that the source on 12 Feb 2010 was in a high state with a gamma-ray flux (E>100MeV) of (1.0 +/- 0.2) x 10^-6 ph cm^-2 s^-1 (statistical uncertainty only).Gamma Ray>GeVAGNQuasarsTransientsFermi LAT detection of a GeV flare from PKS 0244-47http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2010ATel.2440....1E2010ATel.2440....1E
