MAX certification remains a live catalyst as FAA review of MAX 10 reportedly completes
Reporting says Boeing and the FAA completed a successful final Type Certification Board meeting, and approval could come as early as next week after a final FAA management meeting. The FAA has not confirmed a timeline or granted approval; this is a reported milestone, not certification. The MAX flight-guidance/VNAV issue, corrective actions, possible training requirements and MAX 7/MAX 10 timing remain unresolved.
