merits, efficiency, and cost effectiveness

of the alternative methods under

consideration. In addition, interested

parties are invited to propose other

methods or criteria, not identified in

this notice but worthy of consideration,

that may improve or expedite the

evaluation and approval process. The

methods identified thus far for

consideration by the FAA are:

Mathematical modeling and predictive

analysis

Evironmental exposure testing

Bench testing

Operational testing

Spurious and harmonic radio frequency

emission and sensitivity testing

Software audit and validation

Flight testing

In addition to information on these or
