Boeing 737 Max in new software problem

Boeing engineers have discovered a new software problem on the grounded 737 Max that must be patched before the plane can return to service, US Federal Aviation Administration chief Steve Dickson said.

Mr Dickson confirmed during remarks in London that the agency is evaluating the issue. A light indicating that the stabliliser trim system wasn’t working properly “had been staying on for longer than a desired period“, Mr Dickson said, without providing more detail.
