FAA review board to examine new Boeing 737 MAX software issue
The FAA is set to convene a Corrective Action Review Board to look at a newly disclosed software problem on certain Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that can block pilots from automated flight guidance during a missed-approach scenario.
The Federal Aviation Administration will convene a Corrective Action Review Board on Friday, October 2, to examine a newly disclosed software problem affecting some Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.
The glitch can prevent pilots from reaching automated flight guidance during a specific missed-approach scenario, according to the source. The board will weigh whether the condition is a safety concern that warrants further action.
Airline officials told Reuters they do not expect the panel to find the issue amounts to a significant safety risk.
