In the spotlight: Boeing has completed its engineering trial of the updated software, and its technical and engineering leaders were on board the final flight test earlier this week, Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg said in a video message on Wednesday. — Reuters
CHICAGO: Boeing Co is working through the final steps before asking US regulators to review an update for anti-stall software linked to two fatal 737 Max accidents, an early milestone to lifting a global grounding of its best-selling jet.
But there are many steps in the Federal Aviation Administration’s assessment of the proposed fix, and that process could stretch well into June even if there are no complications, said a person familiar with the matter. Boeing must also convince authorities from Beijing to Brussels that the plane is safe. Canada has already signaled it won’t follow an FAA panel’s recommendation against requiring additional simulator training for pilots.
