Update on the Max 10. About 60-70% of flight testing complete. Assuming no further setbacks looks like an early 2025 certification and then start of deliveries. Not sure where Delta is in the line.

It’s also 60-70% of tasks complete before flight testing can begin.
“ On the 737-10, Boeing is about 70% through a list of items the FAA has required before the agency grants type inspection authorization (TIA), the milestone which marks the start of flight testing for certification credit.”

So that’s a slip of a year since end of 2022 update.

More not so good news on the PW 1100G (I believe that is the engine we put on our NEOs).

I suspect Delta may have the ability to do the inspections in house which could limit issues compared to other airlines.

also if t does not appear to affect the A220 P&W engines, which is a huge relief. Although they still seem to be having issues

I’m curious how many of our NEOs are actually impacted by this. It says it only impacts engines built before Q3 2021 and we didn’t take delivery of our first NEO until Q2 2022. So hopefully our exposure is limited.
