FAA says 737 MAX software glitch is not a safety issue

On Oct. 2, 2026 the FAA said its Corrective Action Review Board determined a software issue in certain Boeing 737 MAX flight computers is not a safety concern, because pilots retain full control and crew indications are clear and unambiguous. CNBC reported the finding paves the way toward 737-10 certification after the Sept. 28 hold; the FAA did not announce a type certificate. The agency said it would consider further action if it receives new information.
