No, once the Fatigue Test A/P has approx 10,000-12,000 cycles, which is required by the FAA, it's good to go into service. Boeing puts the balance of three lifetimes on the A/P for their own data. In any case, we stay well ahead of any in service airplanes to find potential problems here and implement any changes fleetwide.

So, does the companies have to wait the 3 years before they can use it? Or is this test still going on even with the first flights.

Because there is no interior installed in the test article. Sunlight will breakdown the carbon fiber from the inside out. The windows are designed to filter UV but, at that time we were taking no chances. We have since removed the window coverings.
