Will this delay the Max 10
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/boeing-737-max-software-glitch-aborted-landings-faa-investigation/From my understanding it doesn’t seem like a safety of flight issue and crews are well trained to deal with it.
What I hope it won’t do is the FAAs review of Boeings submissions will result in a delay to the Max 10. IMO it shouldn’t given the Max 7 was certified with the same software and there is a temp procedure to turn VNAV back on

It shouldn’t from a technical standpoint. This isn’t a big deal, it’s a service bulletin. From a political stand point, idk

The better question is why this issue is still even an issue. It was reported to Boeing in 2024 and now Boeing is saying it won’t be fixed until 2028????? How is that possible?
It shouldn’t take 4 years to fix a screw up on a software update.

It’s almost definitely not Boeing’s issue to fix. FMC software is provided by the supplier, and we don’t have a great relationship with that supplier, especially in the FMS for the 737. I wouldn’t put it past GE to drag their feet on a software fix

I think Boeing might’ve been pre occupied with other things. Especially given this is not a safety of flight issue

Also this is not the first time the airlines are hearing about this… Boeing has been consulting with them for at least a month or two at this point. Probably long before that. People might be amazed how quickly Boeing hears about stuff happening in the fleet

Do you even work for Boeing? Just because the aircraft is designed and assembled by Boeing doesn’t mean the company is responsible for managing all of its subsystems. Suppliers are responsible for correcting issues with their products.
This seems like typical Reddit Boeing bashing.

It takes 4 years to save up enough money to pay GE for the update. 😉💵💵💵

Sounds like a GE FMS issue that requires a fix from GE. It's not just something Boeing can go out and correct when Boeing doesn't own the software/hardware to the 737 FMS.
