  "account": "The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) concluded on Friday that a software bug in Boeing's 737 MAX 10 aircraft does not pose a safety concern. The glitch was discovered during a cockpit software update and could cause an automated navigation feature to fail during landing approaches. Despite this, the FAA panel of safety experts determined that the issue does not jeopardize the aircraft's safety. This is because pilots maintain full control of the aircraft and the flight crew receives clear and unambiguous indications. The FAA will monitor the situation and take appropriate action if new information arises. Boeing will inform airlines about the issue and provide them with guidance on how to recognize and respond to the situation.",
  "summary": "Boeing is working to formalize a procedure with airlines that would allow pilots to restore automated flight guidance in case the glitch occurs.",
