Is this what one calls "design freeze" ?  |

I'm not sure what they mean by "prevailing cold Canadian winter season", with temperatures oscillating between -5 and +5 I wouldn't call this neither cold neither winter......  |

If this is initial cold weather testing, what was done in Florida last year? All I know is that there are two stages : first a design improvement stage, when the manufacturer is trying to get a better understanding of the new aircraft, so as to improve her, and then official certification tests, which you do not want to miss. I don't know which stage BBD has reached in the CSeries test schedule, but this two-step approach might be the reason for a repetition of tests. |

Posting this looking for clarification -
I did not see not hear Rob mention the CS300 as "FTV7"
Is this an assumption that it is called that and not "FTV6"?
It makes no sense that FTV6 would be the fatigue airframe in Germany as FTV stands for Flight Test Vehicle, not Fatigue Test Vehicle.
