Boeing identifies new software issue in 737 Max jets

Boeing said it has identified a new software issue on its 737 MAX aircraft that can leave pilots without automated flight guidance during a specific landing scenario after an aborted landing attempt. The company said pilots are trained to handle the situation using existing procedures, and engineers are working on a software update aimed at a permanent fix. Boeing hasn’t clarified how many of the more than 2,000 737 MAX jets delivered so far are affected. The model has been under scrutiny since two fatal crashes in October 2018 and March 2019 killed 346 people. Boeing also faces additional concerns after a January 2024 fuselage part separated during climb, and the FAA is reviewing the latest reports.
