SEATTLE/WASHINGTON/MONTREAL - Boeing engineers armed with laptops and thumb drives will be able to upload a crucial software fix for the 737 MAX anti-stall system in about an hour. That’s the easy part.
With the FAA under pressure for its role in certifying the newest 737, and other regulators challenging its leadership of the airline safety system, Boeing’s money-spinning jet could remain parked for months. Boeing formally submitted a proposed MCAS software enhancement to the FAA for certification on Jan. 21, Elwell’s testimony said.
Once the new software is approved, adding it will only take an hour per plane, according to an FAA official. But the overall task could stretch on far longer. The agency stood alone among top regulators. First China, then Singapore, Britain and Canada banned flights, before U.S. President Donald Trump announced the MAX would be grounded.
The shift in regulatory power poses a challenge to Boeing’s efforts to quickly resolve the crisis, experts said.
