Great news from the UC-12 team today!!
•We just finished the Flight Readiness Review minutes ago.  The pilots are preparing to fly the Functional Check flight within the hour!
•Once I receive word from the pilots after the completion of the FCF (anticipate a 2 hour flight), I will send out another email later this evening giving the Go/No-Go decision on starting instrument installation in the morning.  Kudos to everyone on a fantastic job reaching this milestone!
Update from Luci Crittenden
Just got word from Rick that the FCF was a success and 95% complete. A few squawks and items to address, a lot of which can be done with ground checks and the rest on the ICF. That being said, all is a "GO" for instrument installation to begin tomorrow morning!
