ARJ21-700 AC104 starts first flight inspection after ferry flight

ARJ21-700 AC104 took off from the Urumchi Diwopu International Airport at 10:23 a.m. to start its first flight inspection after ferry flight on November 8th, 2013.

The main purpose of the flight inspection is to familiarize the airspace near the airport and know the ground telemonitoring condition. Each system of the aircraft operated normally, thereby primarily achieving the purpose of the joint test in Urumchi, Karamay and Altai. In order to ensure smooth communication, the communication among the video terminals and broadcasting stations at the three places would be further strengthened subsequently.

After the flight inspection, ARJ21-700 AC104 would conduct ground work, such as SPC replacement and functional test, rudder non-destructive inspection and engine borescope inspection according to schedule.
