SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 15, 2004, the Transport 

Airplane Directorate, Aircraft 

Certification Service, issued Policy 

Statement Number ANM–03–117–09, 

Policy Statement on Guidance for 

Determination of System, Hardware, 

and Software Development Assurance 

Levels on Transport Category Airplanes. 

This policy statement standardized the 

methodology for assigning development 

assurance levels (DAL) to systems, 

software, and complex electronic 

hardware. 

In December 2010, the Society of 

Automotive Engineers (SAE) issued the 

document, Aerospace Recommended 

Practice (ARP) 4754A, Guidelines for 

Development of Civil Aircraft and 

Systems, as an acceptable method for 

establishing a development assurance 

process. This document contains an 

updated methodology for DAL 

assignment. In developing ARP 4754A, 

SAE considered the subject policy 

statement, with inputs and guidance 

from the FAA. In September 2011, the 

FAA issued AC 20–174, Development of 

Civil Aircraft and Systems, to formally 

recognize ARP 4754A and the DAL 

assignment methodology contained 

therein. The Transport Airplane 

Directorate determined that AC 20–174 

and ARP 4754A provide an acceptable 

DAL assignment methodology for part 

25 airplanes. To ensure correct 

understanding of the Transport Airplane 

Directorate’s current policy for DAL 

assignments, the FAA is cancelling the 

subject policy, in favor of AC 20–174. 

Cancellation of Policy Statement 

As a result of the issuance of AC 20– 

174, Policy Statement Number ANM– 

03–117–09 is no longer in effect and is 

herewith cancelled. 

Issued in Renton, Washington, on March 1, 

2016.
