Boeing Works on Software Fix for 737 Flight Guidance Issue

Boeing is working on a software update for its 737 aircraft after identifying an issue that could leave pilots without access to automated vertical flight guidance during a specific landing scenario.

The company has informed all 737 operators about the issue last month and provided information reinforcing existing pilot procedures for safely handling such situations.

Boeing engineers are now working on a permanent software fix under the oversight of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
