Though it involves software and the flight computer, the problem is different than the one blamed as a key factor of the 737 Max crashes of Lion Air in 2018 and Ethiopian Airlines last year.
Boeing has uncovered a new problem with the 737 Max, raising the possibility it could further delay the grounded jetliner's return to the air.The trouble can occur as the flight computer is powered up. Software is supposed to be able to check on itself to make the system is glitch-free. If it detects a problem, it sends a message saying maintenance is required. But it was found that one of these monitors wasn't kicking in as it should.
The flight-computer problem was discovered in the later stages of development of a new software package. But the issue also represents another challenge on a long to-do list as the first anniversary of the plane's grounding looms in a little more than a month.“We are making necessary updates and working with the FAA on submission of this change, and keeping our customers and suppliers informed.
Boeing has proposed a number of safeguards to make sure that pilots can easily switch off MCAS and take control of the aircraft. The MCAS redesign along with its approval by the FAA is taking months longer than Boeing has anticipated. The new problems are being discovered along the way.
