Is this the CFF, or have I missed the C flight? Cabin FF was on 7feb, still unpainted. This one is therefore a C flight, at least to my records.. Ciao I would consider the one today being the CFF, and the one unpainted just a check-flight. Fabien  |

Fabien The painting is nearly irrelevant for testing the behavior of an outfitted and much heavier plane and its new installed cabin. CFF means: Cabin First Flight and not Colo(u)red First Flight  CFF takes up to 4 hours, this was just a short recheck flight. |

Thanks Linie 9! So should we consider the unpainted flight the CFF?... Fabien  |

Thanks Linie 9! So should we consider the unpainted flight the CFF?... Fabien I think so ... it was a cabin test flight, and it was the first one ! More importantly, will Airbus repeat the same sequence (CFF before painting), or was this a one-off, for unknown reasons (the paint shop being temporarily unavailable ?)? |

@ Fabien: for sure!
@ philidor: Airbus changes procedures with enhanced experience.
Most bad for us spotters here: they seem to have cancelled the low approach at HAM at the end of the CFF.
Maybe that some old silly ladies are responsible for that (too loud) but that's another story.
