FAA certifies Boeing 737 MAX 10 despite software anomaly

The FAA announced that the Boeing 737 MAX 10 can be certified for operations despite a recent software anomaly, after the FAA Corrective Action Review Board adopted a technical resolution in Seattle.

The analysis concluded the software failure does not compromise safety because pilots retain full control and flight‑deck indications remain clear, and the regulator had postponed certification earlier in the week while a thorough evaluation was completed. The anomaly could prevent pilots from accessing automated flight guidance during an unusual landing scenario; Boeing will issue a technical bulletin with guidance and the FAA will publish a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin for U.S. and foreign operators.
