FAA Investigates Glitch in Boeing's 737 Max Jets

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating a glitch in some Boeing 737 Max jets that could cause the automated flight guidance system to disengage during landing.

The issue was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, which cited internal documents stating that the glitch would mostly impact software systems that allow the plane to automatically maintain preset altitudes during landing.

Boeing has been cleared to use its new 737-7 airplane for commercial purposes after receiving certification from the FAA on September 26, 2026. However, it is unclear if this issue affects the newer model.
