It could take a month and a half or more before Boeing 737 MAX jets are back up in the air
It could take a month and a half or longer before Boeing 737 Max jets are back up in the air, according to a timeline for a software fix and pilot retraining on which the Federal Aviation Administration briefed members of the House Transportation Committee on Thursday morning.
Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Rick Larsen said there will be a “software fix over the next month, month and a half, and then the process, at least in the U.S., to implement the training, which will then eventually lead to airlines being allowed to fly the 737 Max.“The software fix is due out in a couple weeks, and going fleetwide is going to take at least through April,“ Larsen said. He said the software fix is being tested now.
Transportation Committee Chairman Peter DeFazio said acting FAA Administrator Dan Elwell, who led the briefing, was uncertain what additional training might be required, since the software fix will make Boeing planes work the way they used to, “where after the pilot has tried to correct, the MCAS is going to not keep repeating itself, which is what it does now. … It’s going to essentially shut itself off.
