Well, I give up . . . Apparently, my post wasn't very clear.
The point that I was trying to make is that it's not quite as simple as it was being made out to be in this thread ("what's the problem, if you need gas, just drop in on a tech stop, etc."). Just dropping into an airport that isn't as simple as it sounds, especially if you don't have a way to get all the things we take for granted- approved Wx, DX, approved Fuel vendor, performance planning, charts, etc.
There are many details that need to be worked out and put into place in advance, and the proving runs are to demonstrate that it works.
Regards,
Ty
