The acceptance of the 22nd production ARH is contracted for July 2011. Achievement of this milestone is now at risk following Australian Aerospace's advice that it would not be able to deliver all 22 ARH by this date. The June 2011 Integrated Master Schedule shows a Forecast Date (Early Finish Date) for the final production aircraft (ARH #22) of September 2011.

Note: Production aircraft (#22) is the 22nd aircraft accepted by the Commonwealth which is not to be confused with the milestone for the 22nd aircraft accepted in the Initial Operational Test and Evaluation configuration under the Acquisition Contract. Australian Aerospace is currently forecasting an Early Finish Date of December 2011 for the 22nd aircraft accepted in the Initial Operational Test and Evaluation configuration milestone (ARH002 from retrofit).
