Newsdeck: Boeing says has completed software update for 737 MAX jets

The airplane manufacturer said it was providing additional information to address requests from the Federal Aviation Administration that includes details on how pilots interact with controls and displays in different flight scenarios.

The FAA is planning a meeting on May 23 in Fort Worth, Texas, with air regulators from around the world to update them on reviews of Boeing’s software fix and new pilot training. On Wednesday, acting FAA Administrator Dan Elwell said he expected Boeing to make its formal submission for its software update in the next week or so.

The company hopes the software upgrade and associated pilot training will add layers of protection to prevent erroneous data from triggering a system called MCAS, which activated in both crashes.
