Soon after it started delivering 737 MAX jets in 2017, Boeing found that one of its suppliers had delivered flight control software without a safety feature. It convened an internal committee to investigate the issue but didn't tell regulators until after the plane was involved in a deadly plane crash in October 2018.

The admission comes at a time when Boeing and the FAA face tremendous scrutiny over whether design flaws could have contributed to the deaths of hundreds of people in Indonesia and Ethiopia, where two 737 Max jets crashed in recent months under similar circumstances. Boeing’s statement Sunday comes a week after the Wall Street Journal reported that the angle-of-attack disagree alert was inoperable when Southwest Airlines and other carriers started flying the planes.
When it discovered the software problem in 2017, Boeing assigned a committee to review the issue, which ultimately determined that the planes were safe to fly. But it wasn’t until November, 2018, after the Indonesian plane crash, that the company informed regulators at the Federal Aviation Administration. It is unclear whether Boeing would have been required to do so under FAA regulations. The company said it followed its standard operating procedures.
