Aviation Administration: System and Person

aviation administration: But Boeing is continuing to modify the flight control system on the Max after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration raised issues in late June, said another person familiar with the situation, according to The Japan Times. The latter issue can be addressed with upgrades to flight software and will not require major changes in plane hardware that are more costly and extensive, this person added. Regulators will have final say on when the planes can return to service, clouding the outlook, in part because of signs of discord between U.S. and international regulators. ; Boeing has completed work on an upgrade to the anti-stall system known as the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System that has been linked to two crashes, said a person familiar with the matter. Boeing has said previously that it expects to submit its certification package to the FAA around September, with anticipated approval around a month later. Our best current estimate continues to be a return to service of the Max that begins early in the fourth quarter, the Boeing spokesperson said. A Boeing spokesman said the timetable for bringing the Max back still holds. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
