Boeing Commences Critical 777-9 Certification Tests With FAA Regulators Onboard: Report
Boeing Co (NYSE:BA) has reportedly commenced certification flight testing for its much-delayed 777-9 aircraft, with U.S. aviation regulators onboard.
据报道，波音公司（NYSE：BA）已开始对其推迟多时的777-9飞机进行认证飞行测试，并有美国航空监管人员登机。
The American plane maker announced this development in an emailed statement, noting that the initial flight occurred on Friday, July 12th night, following the receipt of Type Inspection Authorization (TIA), reported Reuters.
美国飞机制造商在一份电子邮件声明中宣布了这一进展，并指出首次飞行于7月12日晚上星期五进行，此前已获得型检授权（TIA），路透社报道。
This step forward comes as Boeing strives to overcome various production and legal challenges, including a mid-air panel blowout on a 737 MAX plane earlier this year.
这是波音公司努力克服各种生产和法律挑战的一步，包括今年早些时候737 MAX飞机在飞行中出现机身爆炸。
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), although not commenting on specific certification projects, mentioned that "Generally, this kind of thorough process takes many months."
虽然没有评论特定的认证项目，但美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）指出：“通常，这种彻底的过程需要很多月的时间。”
The 777-9 is a crucial component of the 777X project, aimed at enhancing the 777 wide-body jet. Despite its launch in 2013, the project has experienced numerous delays, particularly concerning certification.
777-9是777X项目的关键组成部分，旨在增强777宽体喷气式飞机。尽管该项目于2013年启动，但在认证方面特别是遇到了许多延误。
The type inspection authorization signals the beginning of the certification phase, allowing FAA pilots to partake in necessary flight testing to approve the aircraft for standard operation.
型检授权标志着认证阶段的开始，允许美国联邦航空局的飞行员参与必要的飞行测试，以批准飞机的标准运行。
