Boeing Co said late on Tuesday it will make two new software updates to the 737 MAX's flight control computer as it works to win regulatory approval to resume flights after the jet was grounded following two fatal crashes in five months.

The planemaker confirmed to Reuters that one issue involves hypothetical faults in the flight control computer microprocessor, which could potentially lead to a loss of control known as a runaway stabilizer, while the other issue could potentially lead to disengagement of the autopilot feature during final approach. Boeing said the software updates will address both issues.

Even so, not flying on a 737 MAX. If require software to balance the plane - another fault point. What happened was they wanted to copy AirBus more fuel efficient, but they short-cut... modify the 737.

Take your time Boeing , aircrafts wouldn't be in actions for another 3 months or so
