"We are making steady progress toward certification," Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg said in a video on his Twitter account. "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. In addition to software certification, international regulators must also decide on new pilot training.
