Blimey. Sounds like there's a danger of it flying in the next 12 months!

Gear swing tests replicate the extension and retraction of the landing gear, as they would function on a regular flight. Successfully swinging the landing gear into a stowed position and back down into a landing position verifies the installation and functionality are working as expected. The action is initiated from the flight deck and requires the integration of avionics, the common core system, the electrical power system, the hydraulic system and major airplane structure. Each of the three gear (nose gear, and main gear left and right) were tested independently and then jointly. Testing will continue in the days ahead.
