FAA reviews 737 MAX software glitch on go-arounds
Boeing told operators last month that 737 MAX flight-management-computer software versions 14 and 14.1 can drop vertical navigation after a missed approach if crews change the programmed path. The FAA said it will convene a Corrective Action Review Board. Southwest and United have asked Boeing not to deliver new MAX jets with the affected software, and Boeing said a permanent update is in work, originally aimed at 2028.
