Reuters reported that an FAA Corrective Action Review Board concluded the software issue in certain 737 MAX flight computers does not create a safety concern. The agency said pilots retain full control and the indications presented to them are clear and unambiguous.
The issue could limit access to automated flight guidance during an unusual go-around scenario. Boeing said it was working with operators on a formal procedure; Reuters reported that aviation officials still saw the MAX 10 as potentially certifiable in October.
