Boeing finishes software update for grounded 737 Max

The Boeing Co. says it has finished with updates to the flight-control software implicated in two deadly crashes involving the 737 Max, moving a step closer to getting the plane back in the sky.

Aviation regulators still have more questions about how pilots interact with the plane’s controls under various circumstances, and Boeing said in a statement Thursday that it is providing that information.

The Federal Aviation Administration, foreign regulators and airlines are reviewing Boeing’s plans for additional pilot training, the company said.

The next major step is a certification flight with FAA representatives. That flight has not yet been scheduled.

I hope the FAA reps are more responsible than they were the last time.

Isn't that nice? One would think that a first crash would have been enough.
