US, European regulators want revised Boeing 737 MAX software documentation
US and European regulators have asked Boeing Co to revise documentation on its proposed 737 MAX software fix, the planemaker confirmed on Wednesday, further complicating its efforts to return the jet to service by year-end.
The world’s largest planemaker had submitted documentation in a key part of an approval process, already delayed by months, for a 737 MAX software upgrade in the wake of two crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia that killed 346 people.
US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) officials flagged a number of issues over the weekend at an Rockwell Collins facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, during a documentation audit of how the new software was developed, sources told Reuters.
