The first 787-10 that Boeing will deliver to a customer will make its first flight today from Boeing's Charleston facility.  This aircraft ZC004 (L/N 656, 9V-SCA) should make it's B-1 flight around 10:30 am local time flying to Myrtle Beach International Airport and then back down to Charleston.  The flight should last about 2 hours.

Boeing is building in more time between first flight and delivery as it is is the first 787-10 being delivered and the first 787 being delivered to Singapore Airlines thus the added time is needed between first flight and delivery.  The customer acceptance flight (C-1) should take place around March 2nd, and delivery should occur on March 14th, 2018.

Singapore Airline is expected to take delivery of 8 787-10s this year including two aircraft that were part of the 787-10 flight test program.  All together there were three test flight airplanes and all three are now located back in Charleston where they will now undergo change incorporation and re-work to get them to FAA certification standards and to remove flight test equipment and install the passenger cabin.
