The 787-9, as expected have cleared both the FAA and EASA certification for delivery into the public domain. Seemless testing and frquent flying regimine have set its wings, free of encumbered review by both aviation authorities. Evidently Boeing must have made its case regarding a recent insufficiency discovery by the FAA, concerning flight control issues withing the Cabin. One, a knob needing more attention, and two a capaciter for the RAT, needing upgrading, as it failed in some flying tests. It wasn't sufficient enough issues for grounding the new 787-9, and it could be addressed within the current model, so as it wii not pose a critical problem. Therefore, the FAA, relinguished upon the Boeing's plan of fixing both problems during the next six months as a conditional acceptance of the 787-9. Where Boeing would upgrade components in issue and it would not affect new deliveries.
