On Sunday, March 14th, ZA003 officially became part of the 787 Dreamliner flight-test fleet, having taken off on its inaugural flight from Paine Field in Everett, WA at 10:55AM PST. It landed safely about 3 hours later at Boeing Field in Seattle, WA. ZA003 will focus primarily on testing the 787's passenger interior features (such as improved time-dependent lighting, bigger stowage bins, larger windows with electrochromatic shades, and redesigned lavatories). It will also be used to test the 787's avionics systems, noise performance, flight-deck operations, electromagnetic effects, high-intensity radio frequency response, and extended flight operations (or ETOPS).
