FAA Review May Impact Certification Timeline

Boeing is facing a potential delay in the certification of its 737 Max 10 aircraft due to a software issue that may add to pilots’ workload during a missed landing approach. The Federal Aviation Administration is reviewing the issue, which emerged nearly two years ago, and has convened a Corrective Action Review Board to assess the safety concerns. Boeing is working on an update to permanently address the issue, and the company is reinforcing piloting procedures with airlines in the meantime. The delay may impact Boeing’s efforts to unlock cash from its record narrowbody order backlog, as reported by The Air Current.
