Boeing 777 pilots get new software to stop planes from diving too fast

The US aviation regulator proposes new software for Boeing 777 airplanes. This software will prevent pilots from following misleading guidance that could cause the plane to descend too quickly during landing.

Pilots rely on automated systems for precise landings, especially in bad weather. This change means a specific, documented risk of a plane diving unexpectedly is now being addressed directly with a software update. It removes a known hazard that could trick even experienced flight crews.
