FAA: Software issue will not halt Boeing 737-10 certification - AvioRadar

The FAA concluded a software anomaly in Boeing 737 aircraft does not pose an unsafe condition, clearing a path for 737-10 certification. The issue, reported by WestJet, affects flight management systems but allows pilot control. Boeing and GE Aerospace are working on a permanent fix. Airlines like United and Southwest prefer older software versions. The 737-10, competing with Airbus A321neo, is in final certification stages, delayed from original schedule.
