  "account": "Boeing has discovered a software glitch in the 737 MAX jet's navigation system that may lead to delays in the delivery of the aircraft. The issue could increase pilot workload during landing and potentially delay the arrival of the latest narrowbody models. Boeing notified all 737 operators about the software problem last month, which could prompt the need for additional training or even delay the certification of the new 737 MAX 10. The glitch arises when a pilot needs to abort a landing attempt, forcing the autopilot into a simpler mode of pitch control, increasing the workload compared to the standard mode. The US Federal Aviation Administration is convening a review board to assess whether the glitch presents a flight-safety issue, which could further complicate the certification process.",
