Around 1700 hr she was running all three engines in front of H11. Nice sound:-) Afterwards she returned to her old spot at H9.

Based on the info a got last week from an engineer, involved in the multiple test-runs the planning is gonna be like this:

- From the 5 run-ups there was one that wend good, needs some maintenance to solve the problems.
- Then waiting for IVW inspection and theire conclusion.
- Then may-be a test flight (if approved by Luzzair)
- Then a ferry flight to Lisboa and later on to California for a very heavy C-Check (planned to be 90 days a way in total)

But manny things depend on the IVW inspection and can change very soon.

Greetingz,

Hurricane.

Well the date for the ferryflight depends on the IVW inspection...

Is the IVW also a part of the test flight crew during it's "first" flight? I mean joining the pilots during the test flight(s)?

As usual the IVW has a "big hand" in the process to keep the Tri Star back in the air again but I think they can't arrange a CofA for a foreign aircraft. (Sorry when I'm wrong !

)

So my question is: are there also members of the Portuguese authorities who do some inspectionwork to give permission for the "fisrt" flight ? Maybe in co-operation with the IVW employees ?

BR,

Robert
