FAA Investigates Automated Flight Guidance Issue Affecting MAX Aircraft
A newly revealed software issue on some Boeing 737 MAX aircraft will delay regulatory certification for Boeing’s MAX 10, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The software issue, which affects automated flight guidance, does not render MAX aircraft unsafe, but the FAA is studying its impact on flight crew workload. The delay marks another setback for Boeing’s MAX 10, its largest MAX variant, and may impact the company’s future financials. The news was first reported by The Seattle Times.
