Boeing admits flaw in 737 MAX flight simulators

Boeing would have recognized for the first time that there was a flaw in his 737 MAX flight simulators.

"Boeing has made corrections to the 737 MAX simulator software and has provided additional information to aircraft operators to ensure that the simulator experience is representative in different flight conditions," he said. the manufacturer told the AFP news agency in a statement.

Boeing acknowledged that the flight simulators were unable to reproduce the type of flight conditions that occurred during the Ethiopian Airlines accident in March or that of Lion Air in October.

The planes have been anchored around the world since the two crashes, which killed 346 people. Both accidents were attributed to a failure of the anti-stall system.

Boeing did not specify when he became aware of the simulator problem.

Boeing had already acknowledged earlier this month that he knew that a safety alert on the 737 MAX aircraft was not working properly.
