If not (think ferry flights), then you may be overstating the number of flight test hours earned so far. Also, I've heard that if two tests are performed during one flight, those hours can be double counted and applied toward certification. If true, then your analysis understates the number of hours that are counted toward certification. Kindly understand I'm not trying to be critical as I appreciate your site very much. Just wanting to reconcile my gut feeling that the flight test program is way behind versus what we hear from Boeing that there is still some margin left and that there will not be any more delays.skywalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11310300058180430944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-51564068006403316362010-05-17T11:25:52.088-04:002010-05-17T11:25:52.088-04:00Yup, ZA004 has been accumulating hours like crazy....Yup, ZA004 has been accumulating hours like crazy.

(May 14 to May 16) This appears to be good progress - hopefully it is a positive trend.johnv777https://www.blogger.com/profile/16349598403252209777noreply@blogger.com
