There are not many details in the story at the link below... a bit about some of the items in the flight profile. A couple of "eyebrow raisers" for me: The gear was evaluated. I presume that this means it was raised and lowered, which is something that is often delayed until subsequent flights. The other item was the pilot comments regarding the "intuitive" nature of aircraft systems. This evaluation was not really a result of the flight test. This assesment took place weeks - maybe months - earlier during evaluations done in ground simulators and hot bench testing. About the best we could expect to hear regarding systems on a first flight would be that they "worked as expected". Presumably they did.
