Confirmatory Test of the L-23F Airplane.
Abstract
The army originally procured three model L-23F Airplanes which represented a manufacturer's sponsored product improvement of the Army's 'off-the-shelf' L-23D. One of the original three models was service tested by the Aviation Board; some shortcomings, but no discrepancies, were observed. Subsequently, the Army procured additional L-23's. Meanwhile, in addition to correcting some of the shortcomings reported as a result of service test, sufficient product-improvement items were incorporated to warrant a confirmatory test of the current production configuration. Because of the short time allotted for confirmatory tests, evaluation of the anti-icing and de-icing equipment could not be accomplished. Therefore, CG, USCONARC, has directed that a separate evaluation of the anti-icing and de-icing systems be conducted in conjunction with the AO-1 icing-spray tests at Wright-Patterson AFB. (Author)
