C919拉伞，这是进行失速试验吗？
C919 pulls a chute, is this a stall/spin recovery test?

According to air plane history section of Airfleets.com:-
B-001A parked since July 2020,
B-001C there is no flight record for this plane,
B-001D there is no flight record for this plane.
Obviously www.airfleets.com's information is incomplete since they cannot show flight history of B-001C and B-001D. I think they are not tracking the COMAC C-919's test flights closely. This is understandable since they are trying to track all air crafts globally, which is nearly like mission impossible.
The planned production for prototype called for six air craft, and they have all been delivered now.
I would say it is normal for some prototypes to be on active flights, while others are in hangars under modifications as results of test flights, to correct any flaws found and adding new equipment to be tested, thus their status of "parked" and "on order".
