Boeing has received an amended type certificate (ATC) from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the 787-10 Dreamliner, clearing the airplane for commercial service. The awarding of ATC caps a successful flight test program that began in March 2017 and involved three flight test airplanes that accumulated about 900 test hours. Boeing’s flight test program team took the airplanes through a series of tests to confirm the airplane’s handling, systems and overall performance met internal requirements and certification standards to ensure safety of flight. Other aviation regulatory agencies are expected to follow the FAA’s lead and certify the airplane before it enters service. Boeing has over 170 orders for the 787-10 from nine customers worldwide. First delivery is expected to Singapore Airlines in the first half of 2018.
