A new flaw was discovered in the specialised computer system of Boeing 737 Max planes that automates a wide variety of in-flight tasks, two sources familiar with the matter said on Wednesday, an issue that is expected to further delay the aircraft’s return to service.
Quoting sources, CNN reported that pilots during the simulator tests of the planes discovered a microprocessor failure that could push the nose of the plane toward the ground.
When testing the potential failure of the microprocessor in the simulators, “it was difficult for the test pilots to recover in a matter of seconds,” one of the sources was quoted as saying.
