The issue came from a cockpit software update, The Wall Street Journal reported. Boeing has been under intense regulatory and safety scrutiny in recent years.
Boeing has identified a previously undisclosed 737 MAX software glitch that could cause an automated navigation feature to fail during landing, The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, citing company documents.
The issue emerged from a cockpit software update and can occur when flight crews alter their planned flight path after a missed approach, the report said.
When reached for comment, Boeing said it informed all 737 operators last month about the software issue under which pilots may not have access to automated flight guidance during a specific landing scenario.
“We shared information with operators that reinforced existing pilot procedures for safely handling such cases. Our engineers are working on a software update to permanently address the issue,” Boeing said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it was aware of a potential issue in a software update for the flight computers on certain Boeing 737 MAX airplanes and was working closely with Boeing and the airlines.
“The FAA will convene a Corrective Action Review Board and will take immediate action if it identifies a safety concern,” the FAA said in a statement.

Aviation Ping!..................
Sounds like Boeing needs to be using Claude Code to write their software
Maybe they already did!...............
Adds a little more stress to a "go around" - maybe it'll work, maybe it won't....
Exactly.
Wonder which low bidder this code was outsourced to.
“Boeing has identified a previously undisclosed 737 MAX software glitch that could cause an automated navigation feature to fail during landing”. Wonder what it was written in.
Sanskrit.........
Very vague - didn’t really tell us what the exact issue is or what the consequences are - or even whether it has already happened to a 737.
Typical horribly written story by anti-Boeing agenda-driven “journalism” majors whose sole ambition is to”to change the world” according to their own corrupt narcissistic vision.
