FAA certifies the Boeing 737-10

The FAA said on Oct. 20 that it certified the Boeing 737-10, issuing an amended type certificate and an updated production authorization after requiring an enhanced angle-of-attack sensor. Boeing said the approval clears deliveries in the coming months and that customers have ordered 1,555 of the jets, more than 30 percent of the 737 MAX order book. The company said the airplane can seat 230 passengers and that the certification program logged more than 2,000 flight hours.
