Boeing is going to update the 737 MAX control software that's designed to fix a problem with the way the planes flies

Boeing expects theThe Boeing 737 MAX will be receiving updated flight control software, the airplane maker announced on Tuesday. The software announcement comes four months after the crash Lion Air Flight JT610 and two days after the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET302. Both of which involved effectively brand new Boeing 737 MAX 8 airliners.

The Chicago-based aviation giant said that update will be implemented across the 737 MAX fleet in the coming weeks.Boeing expects the US Federal Aviation Administration to issue an Airworthiness Directive"no later than" April to mandating the updated software. The company has not indicated it will make physical changes to the aircraft that has been in service last spring.

At the heart of the controversy surrounding the 737 MAX is MCAS or the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation system. To fit the MAX's larger, more fuel-efficient engines, Boeing had to redesign the way it mounts engines on the 737. This change disrupted the plane's center of gravity and caused the MAX to have a tendency to tip its nose upward during flight, increasing the likelihood of a stall.

Unfortunately, initial reports from the Lion Air investigation indicate that a faulty sensor reading may have triggered MCAS shortly after the flight took off.

Let us know when the update done and the test is ready.

smh, this is not IOS/Android stop messing around with peoples lives BoeingAirplanes

After what, yalla they're gonna test their next system on some more ppl

In agreement by taking off the distinctive rules and their quality in sensing the systems of restrictions and integration of the request appointment competencies and the individual internal world to return measurements and achieve the quality of breath and completion upon return

or doesn’t fly more correctly

Should any commercial aircraft have “a problem with the way the plane flies”?
