WASHINGTON, Oct 1 (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Administration is set ​to convene a ‌safety review on Friday of a software issue affecting Boeing 737 ‌MAX ​airplanes ⁠that could prevent ⁠pilots from accessing automated flight guidance during a specific landing ​scenario.

The FAA is scheduled to convene ⁠a Corrective ⁠Action Review Board ​on Friday to review ​the issue but airline ‌officials told Reuters they do not believe the board ⁠will determine the issue poses a safety concern. The ⁠FAA ‌said earlier ⁠this week it ​was ‌delaying certification of ​the ⁠737 MAX 10 until it completed its anaylsis.
