Airbus A380 Test Flight

Hey everyone! Recently one of the Airbus branded A380’s, F-WWOW took back to the skies for a test flight from Toulouse. I decided to try my best to recreate that today, flight time was 1 hour and 15 minutes, flying up to an altitude of FL430.
This was completed on the expert server.

Do you think it could be a symbol/sign of the A380Neo?

Ooh so this is what you did earlier! What a fun idea, and awesome flight to do!

Also F-WWOW isn’t just any A380, it’s MSN 001! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

No, I don’t think it is the sign of the A380neo unfortunately. The tests were carried out after months of preparation, system upgrades and the renewal of its test installations. The test flight it did was to enable the certification of all the latest developments

It was quite fun to do! Yes, it was indeed the first A380 to ever be built!

Amazing photos! Also what is that infinite flight tracking website?

Yeah, the A380 has a service ceiling of FL431, so as part of the tests you fly it up to FL430

Very nice! I’ll be doing this sort of thing with the A320neo/A321neo when they release.
