The FAA has said wiring bundles on the Boeing 737 Max are 'not compliant,' but Boeing said the agency's assessment doesn't change its forecast for a mid-year return to service.
The FAA has called wiring bundles in question on the planes — an added wrinkle in the planes' return — are "not compliant."
"The FAA continues to engage with Boeing as the company works to address a recently discovered wiring issue with the 737 Max," said a spokesman for the agency. "The manufacturer must demonstrate compliance with all certification standards. The aircraft will be cleared for return to passenger service only after the FAA is satisfied that all safety-related issues are addressed."
The concern is a short circuit in particular wiring bundles in the Max could, in certain situations, lead to pilots losing control of the plane.
