[QUOTE="WTJ, post: 2649738, member: 6661"] Anomaly: Flight Test terminology meaning non-conformance to test protocols. Translation: "Our shite just caught fire and exploded, then departed the envelope." Probable description by crew: "Ahhhhh, Test Control, we may have a slight problem, we have some anomalous instrument readings and the platform is non-responsive." It takes big balls to do this kind of work, and the testing of aerospace equipment would likely terrify most people. I hope this doesn't kill the program. The things that aviators like BG Yeager did in the '50s and '60s would never pass the .gov risk-management matrix applied today. That's one of the reasons commercial aviation is usually 20-25 years behind the curve. Private operators willing to take these risks are the future of aerospace development. Prayers for the crew and families. [/QUOTE]
