FAA Reviews Boeing 737 Max Software Issue, Finds No Safety Risk
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reviewed a software issue in Boeing 737 Max aircraft that can disable automated flight guidance during aborted landings, increasing pilot workload. The FAA's Corrective Action Review Board determined the glitch does not pose a safety risk, delaying certification of the 737 Max 10 variant until the review concluded. Boeing and airline officials, including Akasa Air's CEO, affirmed the fleet's safety, noting pilots retain manual control and no incidents have occurred. Boeing is developing a software update to address the issue.
