1st Day at Work

Not a lot to say, spent the day helping to analyse the data from last week's flight tests. There was a debate in the office as one of the 787's is off to Ecuador for a week in December for hot and high testing and they need RR people to support the tests. Though the best bit was hearing that Boeing were budgeting how much oxygen they would need to take for the staff for a week, since at 13000' "its impossible to breath".

The canteen is a building the middle of the apron, so you have to walk past everything to get lunch. You can then have lunch whilst watching the movements. There was put speculation when the GE powered 787 came back from a 3 hour test flight after 1 hour. This was make worse when a RR powered 787 came back from a 6 hour test flight after 2 hours. Interesting . . .
