US FAA finds Boeing 737 MAX software glitch does not pose safety issue

WASHINGTON, Oct 2 : The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced on Friday that a panel of experts has concluded that a software glitch in certain Boeing 737 MAX flight computers does not pose a safety risk. This determination allows for the approval of a larger variant of the popular narrowbody airplane. The FAA stated that the conclusion was made based on the fact that pilots maintain complete control over the aircraft and that the indications provided to the flight crew are clear and unambiguous.

Earlier in the week, the FAA had decided to delay the certification of the MAX 10 model until it could thoroughly analyze the issue. The FAA urges readers to stay informed by following breaking news and its top stories through its channel, available on various chat platforms.
