Out of curiosity: does it carry a German civil reg while doing a testflight?

It’s in full Pakistan markings, no German reg visible

The Pakistan navy ATR 72 just made a test flight and is now landing.
Does anyone know how long it will stay until departing definitively?

To add, it flew as ARNYM atc wise, which also suggests she is full Pakistani.

Do you have any tips or notes and an indication of what would be flying on regular days?

Just departed after fuelstop Finnish Borderguard AS32 OH-HVF

For those who still need it (like me), the Pakistan Navy flew today this morning to LSZR/ Altenrhein in Switserland. At this moment (10.00lcl) he is departing again.
Callsign is still AR-NYM and the pilot is German.

Edit 10.13 flying North West, so i guess back to MGL.
Edit : 10.15 just listened back his ATC Clearance, and he is going to Le Bourget!

Callsign is still A-NYM and the pilot is German. Not sure if this is a delivery, or just a "local" flight to Altenrhein, and back to MGL again?

The ATR should fly to Le Bourget today (for static display), according a press release.

I guess to Le Bourget, where it is expected for next weeks Paris air show.
