Washington: Aircraft manufacturing giant Boeing and US federal regulators said they have identified a new software problem on the 737 MAX, further delaying the process of returning the troubled jet to service.
The new issue involves software that is separate from changes to the aircraft's faulty flight-control system, called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), Efe news quoted informed sources as saying on Wednesday.
The plane maker disclosed in a securities filing on Wednesday the US Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) request to address the new problem., which it said wouldn't be covered by planned changes to the MCAS system. Boeing said it agreed with the FAA's decision and is working on it.
