Considering that AA has a maintenance base at AFW, would the following be a check ride for new/recurrent training, a test flight, or merely a LONG ferry flight. AFW is less than 15 minutes from DFW by car.

A lack of planning on your behalf does not create an emergency on my behalf.

Maybe it was like a mechanic taking a car for a long test drive ? Or high traffic? I've also seen planes do wierd routings on flightaware....

If you look at the Track log it shows the a/c was taken up to 31k feet for about 14 mins, then came back down to 16k feet for another 20 plus minutes. It was most likely a mx check flight to test equipment.


A line is evidence that other people exist.

The aircraft had been in AFW for quite some time, presumably a major maintenance visit. This flight was to "test" it and to position it to DFW for revenue service.


The views expressed are my own, and not necessarily those of my employer.
