FAA: Boeing 737 Max Glitch Not a Flight Safety Issue
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that a new software glitch on some Boeing 737 Max aircraft does not constitute a flight-safety issue. This decision allows Boeing to move forward with the certification of the 737 Max 10 model. The FAA stated that pilots retain control, and indications to the flight crew are clear, even with the software glitch. The glitch could affect certain landing procedures, prompting the FAA to issue a bulletin to airlines on how to handle the issue if it arises. Boeing had flagged the software issue affecting flight computers, which could occur following a missed approach if pilots change a preprogrammed flight path. The FAA's assessment involved a review board with expertise in various areas, including airframes and flight controls. The issue has not affected U.S. airlines, as they can revert to older software versions. Concerns about the certification of the 737 Max 10 were raised, but Alaska Airlines and Ryanair have downplayed potential certification delays. This development is crucial for Boeing as it prepares to certify and deliver the latest model in its best-selling airplane family, the 737 Max 10.
