Boeing Rolls Back Software on 737 MAX Amid Safety Concerns
Boeing is facing issues with its latest flight management software for the 737 MAX variants. The company is rolling back the software on 737-8s and -9s to keep deliveries going amid concerns over a risk embedded in the system.
The issue at hand involves a missed approach scenario that some operators are refusing to use, but it's the only current option for Boeing's newest 737-family variants.
Boeing is working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on how to mitigate this identified risk. The FAA and Boeing will have to find a solution to keep deliveries of these planes going while ensuring safety standards are met.
