Boeing meets another software issue

Reading the comments here since the first crash it's pretty obvious that the Max has many more problems hidden and obvious. Boeing being coy about information to PASSENGERS will only result in no one wanting to board this plane. Without delay a replacement should be planned and until then airlines can buy other planes.

This article tells us nothing new. There aren't any software programs that don't have a list of changes to be incorporated in the next revision. Software is continually evolving and when a "review" is initiated it opens the door to find additional changes, related or not, that are added when the fix for the initial issue is incorporated. The fact that the Washington Post (that highly respected technical and scientific authority) is reporting sources without any other description or additional information means they are still just trolling.

All the automation system installed on airliners intend to make flight safer and more efficient starting with the ubiquitous Auto-Pilot, and the well known FMS, TCAS, EICAS and the entire soup alphabet but the damn MCAS was invented to try to rectify freak flying characteristics derived from a faulty if not aberrant aerodynamic design of the 737 Max 8.

Glad they found it now, before worse issues arrive.

The public does not need to know anything about the nature of this other “minor problem” that is “critical to flight safety” since we can be confident that, except for the occasional crashes, everything is just fine.
