No problem
Just turn off and on again
and cross your fingers the plane is still in the air, not too likely
Technology as wielded by people who don't give a shit.
Close enough buddy

What with this and the Max-8 fiasco, Boeing aren't doing so well in firmware development of late. Let's hope it's not the same programmers working on their Starliner reusable space capsule.

With the Ukraine Airlines' 737-800 crash the first "official" reports blamed an engine fire, but they then got pulled I read earlier.

Blanking of ALL displays with selection of certain runways?
That seems just so random, apart from being dangerous.
Question for Chris - is there no way that all consequences of software 'errors' can be eliminated, or is it the case that the systems are just too complicated?

Weird firmware bug, no doubt. Boeing have previous on this!
I'll bet that unsuspecting pilots had a ruined pants moment when that happened.

Boeing faces fine for 737 Max plane 'designed by clowns'...As part of the investigations, Boeing has provided hundreds of messages to the FAA and Congress. It said it had released redacted versions this week as part of its commitment to transparency. " These communications do not reflect the company we are and need to be, and they are completely unacceptable," Boeing said. In one exchange in April 2017, an unnamed employee wrote: " This airplane is designed by clowns who in turn are supervised by monkeys." SOURCE

Having just received another SAR (Subject Access Request), I can tell you that it's some exercise for even a medium size business like ours to process the extract and perform redaction before submitting the outcome to the requester. Our last SAR generated 11,000 e-mails alone to redact. I cannot imagine what Boeing's output would have looked like. Perhaps they had longer than 30 days to comply? We don't.

I take it to mean that they provided unredacted copies to the government immediately, and issued the redacted copies publicly at some later date. |

Yes. Similarly, we provide redacted results to the requester, but if the ICO were not satisfied they have the right to sequester our systems and see all the unredacted information.
