Boeing 737 MAX with a few hops that will originate in Canada but will be conducted over Washington State. In late June, the FAA did its flight evaluation of changes to the flight control software that will change the way the aircraft’s background automated flight systems operate. Several other jurisdictions want to fly the changes before signing off on them and Canada will get its chance this coming week. The test aircraft will make the 20-minute hop from near Seattle to Vancouver to pick up the Transport Canada inspectors and the tests will be done over Washington. The Canadians will be dropped off in Vancouver after the flight, thus avoiding any issues from the COVID-19-related closure of the border between the two countries.
