What if the update still has error, to test it, the jet will still fly, who will fly it for testing?

Boeing's CEO admitted on Thursday that a failure of its software was one of the causes in the recent deadly 737 Max jet crashes.

Dennis Muilenburg said a new software update would prevent future incidents.

"It's our responsibility to eliminate this risk," Muilenburg said in a video message on Thursday. "We own it, and we know how to do it."

Muilenburg's acknowledgement of Boeing's responsibility came after the release earlier Thursday of a preliminary report on the March 10 crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, which killed all 157 people on board. In the report, Ethiopian investigators said the jet's pilots followed all safety procedures before the crash.


Though the pilots followed procedures, the report said false sensor readings activated the jet's automatic system against stalling, known as the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS. The jet nose-dived minutes after takeoff, similarly to when Lion Air Flight 610, another 737 Max, crashed last October and killed all 189 people on board.

The crashes prompted airlines and international regulators to ground their 737 Max jets, and pilots accused Boeing of failing to train them on the MCAS system.

On Thursday, Muilenburg said a software update would be ready to implement within weeks.

"This update, along with the associated training and additional educational materials that pilots want in the wake of these accidents, will eliminate the possibility of unintended MCAS activation and prevent an MCAS-related accident from ever happening again,"

He said Boeing remained confident in the safety of its jet.

"When the Max returns to the skies with the software changes to the MCAS function, it will be among the safest airplanes ever to fly," he said.

A report on the cause of the Lion Air crash has not yet been released, and Muilenburg stressed that any air crash was the result of a chain of events. He added that he hoped Boeing would again earn the trust of air travelers.

"We at Boeing are sorry for the lives lost in the recent 737 Max accidents. These tragedies continue to weigh heavily on our hearts and minds, and we extend our sympathies to the loved ones of the passengers and crew on board Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302," he said. "All of us feel the immense gravity of these events across our company and recognize the devastation of the families and friends of the loved ones who perished."

they don't test jets with human beings,,they do with robots..the jet will flawn directly from control room with a system...

Don't you know after building a particular jet series,,its been intentional crash to know the impact ,,and safety level..

Wow. This is an example of someone saying something absolutely false and incredulous with utter confidence.

I have phobia for flying. It's always fun for my wife when flying is unavoidable for me. I will fall sick a day b4 and she'd have field day mocking me. Its my life's worst tight chest experience everytime.

Rosskii:
So it wasn't the Ethiopian pilot's fault afterall, whereas, some of you were claiming ''it must have been pilot error'' that caused the crash.

One nairalander even said something about ''Africans and incompetence'' etc etc.

Bunch of stupid, self-hating nitwits (You know yourselves).

Families of the deceased should sue Boeing for $100 trillion. Next time, they will hire better programmers that won't turn their aircrafts to flying coffins.

hahahahaha its not really the programmers fault but rather a control algorithm or what we aptly call control law malfunctioning. Its within the purview of the control engineers who applied different control theory to come up with a defining control law that guides the flight. The programmers only implement that law in software.
I remember my very interesting thesis during my MSC on Auto pilot where The three most important flight motion have to be controlled vise the Pitch, the Roll and the Yaw. I have to apply the scariest of control theory especially optimal and stochastic control . The control law I got was very nonlinear
I solved several descrete Recati multidimensional matrix equation sotey I nearlly run mad

Much respect to control engineers

Boeing should immediately start paying compensation & damages to families of all the deceased persons.

Naija9090:
Omo, they don enter one chance. They will file bankruptcy after paying compensation.
