Flightblogger: Engine pre-run tests on going, engine start test very soon

UPDATE: Jon is saying that it's looking more likely that the engine start will take place within the next 24 hours and odds are it'll be tomorrow.

Jon is reporting that Boeing has started engine pre-run tests on ZA001 and, depending on the results of those tests, can see the first start of the Trent 1000s later this afternoon. Stay Tuned!

    Could you tell us what to expect once the engines are started...do they start them multiple times?

    Once started, does that commence the intermediate gauntlet testing period?

    Thanks for whatever color you can provide....
