Boeing 737 Max 10 faces possible delay over flight management software issue
A flight management software problem on Boeing's 737 Max 10 is drawing review from US regulators and airline customers, potentially pushing back the variant's entry into service.
Another obstacle has emerged for Boeing's plan to put the last two 737 Max variants into commercial service. According to The Air Current, a flight management software issue may increase pilot workload when an approach is missed.
The problem surfaced nearly two years ago. It is now drawing new attention from US regulators and airline customers, awkward timing for Boeing, which has spent years working to bring the Max 7 and Max 10 into service.
The Federal Aviation Administration is reviewing the software issue. Whether that review will delay the 737 Max 10 is not yet settled.
Boeing has not said how it intends to address the matter. No timeline for a fix has been given.
