An interesting test is to look at the proportion of an article that covers the phase of the "test flight" from the start of the initial take-off run to the end of the final landing ground roll. Often this is less than 25%. I would suggest that if this is less than about 50% then you are not reading the work of someone who has the ability to describe accurately the flying qualities and performance of an aircraft.
