Boeing Identifies Software Glitch in 737 MAX Jets

A software glitch has been identified in some Boeing 737 MAX jets, potentially causing pilots to lose access to automated flight guidance during a specific landing scenario.

The issue can occur after a missed approach when a flight crew changes the aircraft's planned flight path, according to company documents cited by The Wall Street Journal.

Boeing informed all 737 operators about the problem last month and provided information on how to safely handle such cases. Engineers are working on a software update to permanently address the issue.
