I was right, and then left seat, for Transport Canada Aircraft Certification flight testing yesterday. The test pilot and flight test engineer, were extremely thorough. The FTE explained to me after the day's test flying that because of the concern that some compliance was not truly demonstrated for the MAX certification, Transport Canada was not going to allow themselves to be caught out not having thoroughly flying tested one of their programs, if another authority later inquired.
At least, with Transport Canada, the pendulum has swung back (and I suspect with EASA too). Where, in the past, they might have accepted my word as an aircraft certification delegate, now they want to see for themselves, 'cause they're on the hook for documenting the finding of compliance. Considering the MAX certification concerns, I can certainly see their point!
