Boeing 737 MAX Software Glitch Affects Landing Navigation; FAA Reviews Issue
Boeing has identified a software glitch in its 737 MAX aircraft that may cause automated navigation to fail during landing after a missed approach, increasing pilot workload. The company notified operators last month and is developing a software update to fix the issue. The FAA is reviewing the problem and will take action if safety concerns arise. Southwest and United Airlines have requested earlier software versions for new deliveries. The glitch may affect certification timelines for newer 737 MAX variants.
