SEATTLE - Boeing Co said on Wednesday it had reprogrammed software on its 737 MAX to prevent erroneous data from triggering an anti-stall system that is facing mounting scrutiny in the wake of two deadly nose-down crashes in the past five months. The planemaker said the anti-stall system, which is believed to have repeatedly forced the nose lower in at least one of the accidents, in Indonesia last October, would only do so once per event after sensing a problem, giving pilots more control.
It will also be disabled if two airflow sensors that measure key flight data offer widely different readings, Boeing said, confirming details reported by Reuters on Tuesday. “We are going to do everything that we can do to ensure that accidents like these never happen again,” Mike Sinnett, Vice President for Product Strategy and Future Airplane Development told reporters on Wednesday at a Boeing facility near Seattle.

Admitting failure ......?
This plane is laughing about all the people it’s trying to kill
Why did they wait this long to get to the problem, they knew what was wrong!
Who in their right mind would let their child get on one of these Max planes again. How about designing a plane that is engineered to handle its own engines
If plane crashing go to prayer-routine else go to serve dinner.
If the software messes up they'll investigate the crash scene at no charge.
Maybe fancy computers are moving too fast for all of us?
Are they going to charge extra for this, too?

Boeing charged airlines for additional safety features on 737 Max jetsThe NTSB is joining Ethiopian and French investigators investigating the cause of the Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed shortly after takeoff earlier this month, killing 157 people. They didn't pay extra for the options . . . This is a flaw in design obviously. If some sensor is throwing an error, you should put the indicator for it near the off switch, I would think. There shouldn't be a question as to what's wrong when seconds count. Seems like they knew the flaw and decided to monetize it. US junk
