The FAA consultancy suggested that various Boeing models, including 787, to make sure that operators of operators could not accidentally move the locking feature of fuel cutting switches, but it was not compulsory.

Reuters referred to a document and resources on Sunday, and said that Planemer and FAA’s locks to airlines and regulators of Boeing aircraft were secure and that the controls were not necessary.
