  "account": "The US Federal Aviation Administration is establishing a review board to decide if a recent software glitch in Boeing's 737 MAX jet could pose a safety hazard. Boeing has revealed that the glitch lies within the aircraft's navigation system. It may cause an increase in pilot workload during landing, potentially delaying the delivery of the company's latest narrowbody models. The glitch surfaces when a pilot must abort a landing attempt. This triggers the autopilot to switch to a simpler level of automation, which is more demanding on the pilot than the standard approach. The Wall Street Journal has previously reported on the software glitch and its potential implications for Boeing's certification timeline. Boeing originally planned a permanent fix for this issue for 2028; however, the manufacturer is striving to expedite the process. In the interim, a bulletin is being prepared for pilots at 737 MAX operators.",
