A350 Formation Flight prior to Type Certification


All 5 aircraft in the Airbus A350-900 test fleet have taken part in a formation flight, ahead of certification of the type.



Using the callsign ‘Carbon’, the aircraft departed Toulouse’s runway 14R at about 10:30, led by the first cabin-fitted airframe MSN2.



The formation subsequently joined up and performed several east-west flights parallel to the Pyrenees mountain range.
