Boeing reports 737 Max software glitch affecting some landing procedures

Boeing said it identified a software glitch last month on some 737 Max aircraft that could affect certain landing procedures. The company said it is working on a software update and has shared guidance with operators while it coordinates with airlines and regulators. The Federal Aviation Administration said it is reviewing the issue and Boeing’s proposed fix, and will take action if it finds a safety concern. Boeing said the problem can occur after a missed approach when pilots change a preprogrammed flight path, which may require additional steps to reenable automated tools. U.S. airlines said the issue does not affect their current fleets, while some international and future aircraft models may need further review. The announcement comes as Boeing continues to manage scrutiny over the 737 Max program and ongoing certification efforts for newer variants.
