When they tested the A380 there they were satisfied with -30. But since Nunavut is having a heat wave - well, relatively speaking - I wonder also.

Ihope they do a better job than on any of their previous products, misery is an A320 after an overnight cold soak in Winterpeg or Edmonchuck! Have yet to see any product from the EU built for our climate.

They didn't last long, they left before the Blizzard hit day before yesterday! Guess they didn't have the guts to take the 55 gusting to 65 winds!!

Yesterday would have been an awesome day for reverser testing in the snow, with powder on the runway around lunch-time when we got back in.

Here she is:

A350 cold weather testing

Hah! Funny, Toronto had been colder than north pole for a few days during January, they could have done their testing there.

Boeing also do an artificial man made cold weather testing in some facility in the States.
