FAA says Boeing 737 Max software anomaly poses no security risk

The Federal Aviation Administration stated that a software anomaly in some Boeing 737 Max flight computers does not constitute a security risk, noting that pilots would still retain full control and cockpit displays remain clear.

The anomaly could prevent pilots from accessing automatic flight control in an unusual national scenario, leading the FAA to postpone approval of the Max 10 until analysis was completed, while the decision may reassure operators of the already approved Max 7, which uses the same software.
