Boeing Identifies Software Glitch Affecting 737 MAX Landing Navigation; FAA Reviews
Boeing has identified a software glitch in its 737 MAX aircraft that may disable an automated navigation feature during landing after a missed approach, potentially increasing pilot workload. The issue stems from a cockpit software update causing the autopilot to revert to a simpler mode, requiring manual control. Boeing notified all 737 MAX operators last month, reinforcing pilot procedures and is developing a permanent software fix. The FAA is reviewing the issue and may convene a board to assess safety implications. Some airlines have requested earlier software versions for new deliveries.
