N175AW (cn 23634/1423) A series of turns at FL150 during a functional test flight. We went on to do a manual gear and flap extension as well as test for spoiler float. We then climed to FL350 and performed another flight control check and turned off both packs to test the cabin de-pressurization rate (quite an interesting test!). After all that we returned to KGYR where the a/c will undergo a "C" check. [Nikon D100 - Sigma 15-30mm].

A visitor from United States posted Mon December 25, 2006: A manual standard terminal arrival to the initial approach fix, and about to descend into the clouds. Flying that approach manually is the best way to learn and maintain your flying skill
A visitor from Iceland posted Thu September 22, 2005: I like the way the clouds are just under the plane and I like how this photo is taken.
A visitor from United States posted Fri September 16, 2005: Another great photo from you Jeremy!
A visitor from Canada posted Fri September 16, 2005: Dude, thats super, man, nice shot, congrats on ur another good shot
A visitor from United States posted Fri September 16, 2005: Very well done with an excellent view of the overhead panel! Goodyear is one of the sadder airports around the valley. All those beautiful jets just sitting there. :/ Marana isn't much better, either--though not that close to the valley.
A visitor from Netherlands posted Fri September 16, 2005: I know what you mean; these test flights are always fun. Make sure they fix the standby compass and the centre post cover in that C-check. Thanks for the picture!
A visitor from Netherlands posted Fri September 16, 2005: No that's not it ;-) No airplane is completely air tight, so the air flows out of the cabin at a very slow rate, if you turn of your Packs, the cabin altitude will climb, until it's equal to the outside pressure. Nice picture :D
A visitor from United States posted Fri September 16, 2005: I love cockpit shots. I like seeing the sky in front the cockpit, and being able to almost feel the plane making it's turn.
A visitor from United States posted Fri September 16, 2005: Test the cabin de-pressurization rate? does that mean you basically nose-dived really fast??
