Boeing B737 MAX Software Issue Disengages Automated Flight Guidance System

Boeing has detected a software issue in its B737 MAX planes that could cause the automated flight guidance system to disengage after a missed landing approach.

The issue could lead to a reduction in automation during the landing scenario, and Boeing is working on a permanent software update to address it.

Around 96 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft operated by Air India Express and Akasa Air in India are potentially impacted.

Boeing has issued an advisory to operators to reset the system following a missed approach as a precautionary measure.
