Dangerous failure: Boeing confirmed the error in the navigation of liners

Aircraft manufacturer Boeing confirmed the presence of a software failure in the aircraft model 737 MAX. According to The Wall Street Journal, this error can lead to the failure of automated navigation during landing.

The problem arose after a software update in the cockpit. Failure manifests itself in situations where the crew is forced to change the planned flight path after an unsuccessful approach to land.

In such scenarios, pilots will need to switch to manual control with the disabling of part of the autopilot functions. Representatives of the aviation industry point out that this increases the burden on the crew, especially at low altitude and in difficult weather conditions.

Against this background, there is a recent incident. The Boeing 737 of Sepehran Airlines, operating a flight on the route Mashhad – Kermanshah, made an emergency landing at the airport of departure. The cause of the accident was a technical malfunction.
