The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
Boeing has identified a new malfunction in the autopilot software of its 737 MAX aircraft, which could leave pilots without automated assistance during aborted landings. While no accidents or injuries have occurred, the company is preparing a software update to address the issue, affecting over 2,000 delivered planes.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The autopilot software in the 737 MAX is an AI system as it makes real-time decisions affecting aircraft control. The newly reported software problem could leave pilots without autopilot assistance in critical landing scenarios, posing a credible risk of harm to passengers and crew. Although pilots are trained to handle such situations and Boeing is preparing a software update, the risk remains until fixed. Since no new harm has yet occurred but the malfunction could plausibly lead to serious injury or death, this event fits the definition of an AI Hazard. The past fatal crashes linked to the MCAS software are referenced as background but are not the focus of this report, so this is not an AI Incident at this time.[AI generated]
