Boeing is preparing to brief pilots and regulators on a 737 Max software fix, as the company tries to restore industry confidence in its signature plane
More than 200 airline pilots, technical leaders and regulators were invited to the session that will center on the Boeing 737 Max and a software update that is said to resolve issues associated with a faulty piece of software blamed by aviation authorities for the October crash of a Lion Air plane in Indonesia.Investigators have drawn similarities between the flight data from that crash and the Ethiopian Airlines crash earlier this month that killed 157 people.
Changes coming at FAA after crashes, watchdog saysBoeing pilots worked with the company's software design team throughout months of production to incorporate multiple layers of protection in the event of sensor errors or other erroneous inputs, the Boeing official said.The updated software will also draw data from two sensors, instead of one, CNN has reported.
