John,

As I heard it from sources present....the test was called off as it had run well beyond the maximum fuel endurance of the aircraft which was felt sufficient time.

Also....as I have seen in the checklist....oil pressure less than 5 psi has always required...."Land Immediately!"

One has to assume a complete loss of oil would result in a "zero" oil pressure thus an immediate landing would be the correct thing to do.
