) to revise documentation on its proposed 737 MAX software fix, the planemaker confirmed Wednesday, a development that further complicates its efforts to return the jet to service by year-end.
U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and European Union Aviation Safety Agency officials flagged a number of issues over the weekend at an FAA facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, during a documentation audit of how the new software was developed, sources told Reuters. One person briefed on the matter characterized the issue differently and said Boeing’s paperwork had gaps, was substandard and meant regulators could not complete the audit, a crucial step before the plane can be certified to return to service.
Boeing is ramping up the number of people assigned to address the software documentation officials, a source said. Boeing shares closed down about 1%. He added the FAA told Boeing “it’s really better to be very methodical and very detailed rather than try to rush a partially completed product and then say, ‘We’ll get back to you with the rest of it.’”
They'll be better off trashing that plane.
737 pilots who earned their type rating, and know what the stab trim cutout switches are for, have had no problems with the Max.
Software be damned, I’m not putting family or other loved ones on that thing.
