- 美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)将因软件故障推迟批准波音最新737 MAX机型。
- The FAA will delay approval of Boeing’s latest 737 MAX model over a software glitch.
航空安全监管机构将评估该问题,一些业内人士担心这可能在着陆时构成潜在安全风险。该故障源于驾驶舱软件更新,在某些情况下,飞行员可能不得不在没有部分自动驾驶功能的情况下手动驾驶。波音表示,正与航空公司合作制定程序,以便在需要时让飞行员重新启用自动导航功能,并正在设计软件修复方案。
Air-safety regulators will assess the issue that some industry officials worry may pose a potential safety risk while landing. The glitch emerged from a cockpit software update and, in a certain scenario, mean pilots may have to fly manually without some autopilot functions. Boeing said it was working with airlines on a procedure to allow pilots to re-enable the automated navigation feature if needed, and devising a software fix.
