Variance Explanations

Note 2: C-17 Globemaster III Aircraft Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E) not required as it is Military Off-The-Shelf i.e. Mature Design with no ADF unique changes.

Simulated Avionics DT&E - Sub-contractor Intellectual Property issues resulted in delay in Simulated Instruments integration, although no delay is anticipated in overall Aircrew Simulator delivery date.

Aircraft A41-208 and A41-209 were completed early by the manufacturer (Boeing).
