Boeing 737 Max 10 certification gets boost as FAA says 'software glitch not a safety issue' | 4 key things to know | Company Business News
America's aviation regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has said a software glitch on some Boeing 737 Max flight computers is not a safety concern. That clears a major hurdle for the 737 Max 10 certification. The glitch can occur during a go-around and raises pilot workload. Boeing will send airlines a bulletin on how crews should respond.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The FAA's Corrective Action Review Board decided on Friday that the software glitch does not pose a safety risk, because pilots keep full control of the aircraft.
- The finding removed a major regulatory hurdle for the Boeing 737 Max 10 certification, and Boeing shares rose 1.6% to $195.40.
- Southwest, United, American and Alaska have confirmed they do not operate aircraft with the affected software version.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you hold Boeing shares or work with airlines, treat this as one step in the certification process and not a final approval. Follow official FAA and Boeing updates before you act.
