WASHINGTON, D.C.: U.S. aviation regulators are taking a closer look at Boeing's plans to update cockpit warning systems on its largest 737 variant as the company works toward certification.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it will review Boeing's proposed enhanced flight crew alerting system for the 737 MAX 10. The system includes a synthetic enhanced angle-of-attack feature and a mechanism that allows flight crews to shut off stall-warning and overspeed alerts.

The review comes as Boeing seeks approval for the MAX 10, the largest model in the 737 family, amid heightened regulatory scrutiny following past safety concerns across the MAX program.

In December 2022, the U.S. Congress agreed to waive a deadline that would have required the MAX 7 and MAX 10 to meet a new safety standard for modern cockpit alerting systems. In exchange, lawmakers required that the aircraft be retrofitted with future safety enhancements within three years of the MAX 10's certification.
