Following two air disasters months apart, Boeing has promised to release software updates for all of its Boeing 737 Max aircraft by next month at the latest. The updates were developed in the aftermath of the Lion Air Flight 610 disaster that killed 189 people, the company said, and include changes to flight control systems, pilot displays, operation manuals and crew training.
In the Lion Air crash, pilots reportedly had trouble with a new feature, added to account for the 737 Max's larger engines, called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System . It may have engaged erroneously, pushing the nose down and causing the plane to go into a dive. The pilots apparently fought the controls, but were unable to counter the problem.
— Kathryn Farrell March 11, 2019 Boeing, in a very unusual procedure, issued an emergency bulletin ordering airlines to train pilots on how to shut off the automatic system. In today's news release, it said that it's always been possible to override it."The pilot will always be able to override the flight control law using electric trim or manual trim," it said.
