Will not delay MAX software update

An FAA spokesman reports that this issue should not delay the planned submission of Boeing’s software update and training revisions for its 737 MAX. However, it is still not clear when the updates and revisions will go to the FAA.

According to the CBC, Boeing said it had completed its software upgrade last Month, but was still working to address information requests coming from the FAA. This must happen before a certification test flight can take place.

Several days to complete

Boeing and the FAA are saying that no known incidents related to the tracks on operating flights have arisen and that the fix should take a several days to complete.

CNN is reporting that the CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Kevin McAllister said the following:

“We are committed to supporting our customers in every way possible as they identify and replace these potentially non-conforming tracks,”
