Airbus Military has completed its critical function and reliability
(F&R) test activity using A400Mdevelopment aircraft
"Grizzly 5", during which the production-standard transport
was flown for an average of 15h per day.
Originally launched around mid-year but interrupted by
several months due to a now-resolved fault with Europrop I
nternational's TP400-D6 turboprop engine, the F&R
process accumulated a total of 300 flying hours.
Resumed in early November, the work took 26 days and 52
flights to complete, with Grizzly 5 having been flown twice a
day, Airbus Military says. A further six days were used to
perform "routine maintenance" tasks, it adds.
