Possibly stupid question but will they be able to apply these fixes remotely? Or will Boeing have to fly engineers / mechanics to every grounded 737 Max in the world?
- perlgeek 7y agoI could well image a middle ground for software updates: patching needs to be done by ground crew (and while not in flight, obviously), but not by Boeing engineers, just by regular maintenance crew. But the article reads as if new hardware was necessary as well, which might change the picture.
- bdavis__ 7y agoCommercial aircraft have a large support staff that 'touch' the aircraft ever day (week). Certified mechanics and technicians. A software update is something they do on a regular (yearly maybe()) basis. By following instructions provided by the OEM. Upgrading hardware is also done by the customer. People are trained and qualified to do this work all over the world.
