Cessna 162 Skycatcher: Boeing 787 Dreamliner Delivery Date

On the 18^th of January 2011 Boeing announced that their first delivery of their 787 Dreamliner in the third quarter of 2011. This in only a change in the delivery date because of that in-flight incident during a flight last November. What could this mean for aviation in general? Well for starters it means that the most advance aircraft on the market is going to become available at the end of 2011. Boeing has made this the most advance aircraft in the world because of the amount of screens that they have included an in-screen check list that can go through the checklist itself and make sure that the aircraft is configured correctly but it also have an electronic flight bag that is built in for both the pilots that can display approach plates and airport diagrams and other publication from the government that is needed for flight. Why did that make a built in flight bag you might ask. The reason was really so then during a flight they could be required to care less paper on board and then they wouldn't need to use so much paper and print everything out because aviation does use a ton of paper. So as it stands for now the 787 is not certified but Scott Fancher, vice president and general manager of the 787 program believe that the delivery date will leave them more than enough time to finish the testing and get the 787 certified by the FAA(Federal Aviation Administration) and also Transport Canada. After the in-flight incident Boeing has been making the changes to the five test aircrafts and has been returning them back to testing.
