Boeing says it has corrected simulator software of 737 Max jets

Boeing Co has made corrections to simulator software that mimics the flying experience of its 737 MAX jets, and the company has provided additional information to device operators, a spokesman said Friday. The spokesman said the changes will ensure that the simulator experience is representative across different flight conditions and will improve the simulation of force loads on the manual trim wheel that helps control the airplane. The comments came after the New York Times Friday reported that Boeing recently discovered that the flight simulators airlines use to train pilots could not adequately replicate conditions that played a role in the 737 MAX crashes. Although the simulators are not built by Boeing, the planemaker does provide the underlying information on which they are designed and built, the New York Times said. <br/>
