FAA statement on Boeing 737 MAX Software Update

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) states that it expects to receive Boeing’s final package of its software enhancement over the coming weeks for FAA approval. The FAA said in a statement that “Time is needed for additional work by Boeing as the result of an ongoing review of the 737 MAX Flight Control System to ensure that Boeing has identified and appropriately addressed all pertinent issues. Upon receipt, the FAA will subject Boeing’s completed submission to a rigorous safety review. The FAA will not approve the software for installation until the agency is satisfied with the submission.” Boeing stated
