Finally. It's only been 8 years in the making.
The FAA issued the TIA authorizing the flight on 11/7/08. It took until 11/13/08 for them to assign a flight test pilot.
We did the climb performance and climb-cooling tests today.
Due to the correction factors for the climb-cooling test, I won't know if the temps stayed under the 500 degree limit when corrected to 100 degrees F. From what I saw, there were only a couple of readings over 400 degrees. Most were in the mid to high 300 degrees. The uncorrected accessory temps were around 140 degrees. The alternator was never over 50 degrees higher than OAT.
The average climb rate to 12,500 feet was in the 550 fpm range for two climb tests.
Keep your fingers crossed.
