Boeing Co is making “steady progress” on the path to certifying a software update to the grounded 737 MAX and even has made the final test flight before a certification flight. “We are making steady progress toward certification,” Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg said in a video on his Twitter account on Wednesday. Standing in front of a 737 MAX plane at Boeing Field in Seattle, Muilenburg said the company had completed on Tuesday the official engineering flight test with the updated software. “That was the final test flight prior to the certification flight,” he said. Boeing is reprogramming 737 MAX software to prevent erroneous data from triggering an anti-stall system that came under scrutiny following the two deadly nose-down crashes.
