华盛顿，9月30日：美国交通部长肖恩·达菲周三表示，目前不认为波音737 MAX机队的软件问题存在任何安全隐患。"如果有类似'嘿，我们有安全问题'的情况，我们会有不同的反应，"达菲在华盛顿的一个活动后对记者说。"我们吸取了教训：如果不快速响应事情，坏事就会发生。"他补充说，该机构认为没有必要因该问题而停飞737 MAX机队。
WASHINGTON, Sept 30 : US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Wednesday he does not currently see any safety concern stemming from a software issue involving the Boeing 737 MAX fleet. "If there was like, 'Hey we've got a safety issue,' we have a different response," Duffy told reporters after an event in Washington. "We've learned when you don't respond quickly to things, bad things can happen." He added the agency saw no need to ground the 737 MAX fleet over the issue.
周六，波音公司表示，影响某些737 MAX飞机的软件问题可能会阻止飞行员在特定着陆场景下获取自动飞行引导。该公司称已通知运营商，并正在开发软件更新以永久解决该问题。
On Saturday, Boeing said a software issue affecting certain 737 MAX aircraft could prevent pilots from accessing automated flight guidance during a specific landing scenario. The company said it had informed operators and was developing a software update to permanently address the problem.
周一，美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）表示，将推迟认证波音长期延迟的737 MAX 10，直到软件问题得到解决。
On Monday, the Federal Aviation Administration said it will hold off certifying Boeing's long-delayed 737 MAX 10 until the software issue is resolved.
周三，达菲将该问题比作智能手机的更新，并补充说该软件更新"未被标记为安全问题给我们。"早些时候，FAA表示，该软件版本可能会在复飞时增加飞行员工作量，复飞是指飞行员中止着陆尝试、增加动力并爬升回天空再次尝试着陆。
On Wednesday, Duffy compared the issue to an update on a smartphone, adding that the software update "hasn't been flagged for us as a safety issue." Earlier, the FAA said the software version can increase pilot workload when doing a go-around, where a pilot aborts a landing attempt, applies power, and climbs back into the sky to try to land again.
FAA表示计划召集纠正措施审查委员会调查该问题。官员称，这可能要等到下周初才会进行。
The FAA said it planned to convene a Corrective Action Review Board to investigate the issue. Officials said this may not take place until next week at the earliest.
