Boeing issues changes to controversial 737 MAX control systems

Boeing issues changes to controversial 737 MAX control systems

Boeing has issued changes to controversial control systems linked to two fatal crashes of its 737 MAX planes in the last five months.

But it's still not certain when the planes, that were grounded worldwide this month, will be allowed to fly.

Investigators have not yet determined the cause of the accidents.

As part of the upgrade, Boeing will install as a standard a warning system, which was previously an optional safety feature.

Neither of the planes, operated by Lion Air in Indonesia and Ethiopian Airlines, that were involved in the fatal crashes, carried the alert systems, designed to warn pilots when sensors produce contradictory readings.

Boeing said in future airlines would no longer be charged extra for that safety system to be installed.
