Avez vous une idée sur ces "aero paint" et un eventuel souci ?
it seems the aero paint is getting worse:
This cabin equipped aircraft will be used for Route Proving, ETOPS certification and pilot training. Or as it is known, "functional and reliability testing". It will fly all around the world for more than 200 hours in 3 weeks.

Ou ils ont eu des problèmes avec la porte et ont du en réinstaller une nouvelle en urgence, ce qui explique peut-être pourquoi il n'a pas voler hier comme prévu.
The maximum energy rejected take-off eight test is to be undertaken next week in Istres/France. The aircraft will be accelerated to around 170 knots at its maximum weight of around 275 tons. Brakes installed will be almost entirely worn down to satisfy certification requirements and the pilots will not use reverse thrust to slow down the aircraft. The aircraft has already passed the high energy rejected take-off test which is done at a thrust setting of around 80%.
close to 30 flights and around 200 flight hours are planned. The aircraft will fly to destinations including Hongkong, Singapore, Sydney, Auckland, Santiago de Chile, Johannesburg, Iqualuit and Frankfurt. It will be operated by pilots from Airbus, customer airlines and airworthiness authorities and there will be a limited number of passengers on board. Among the flights are four return services between Singapore and Hong Kong with very short ground times in between. Part of the route proving campaign will simulate short turn-arounds as the aircraft will experience in airline operations, but there will also be overnight stops.
