SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On February 22, 2001, the Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, 
Aircraft Certification Service, issued Policy Statement Number ANM-99-
01, Improving Flightcrew Awareness During Autopilot Operations. The 
policy statement advised the public that the FAA would be evaluating 
various items for improving the flightcrew's awareness during autopilot 
operations when certifying automatic pilot installations. The FAA 
intended that the policy statement would serve as interim guidance 
until the issuance of AC 25.1329-1B.
    The FAA issued AC 25.1329-1B, Approval of Flight Guidance Systems, 
on July 17, 2006, and more recently issued the updated AC 25.1329-1C on 
October 27, 2014. The AC incorporates the same guidance as the older 
policy statement. The FAA intended to cancel the policy when AC 
25.1329-1B was released but overlooked it.

Cancellation of Policy Statement

    As a result of the issuance of AC 25.1329-1B (now 25.1329-1C), 
Policy Statement Number ANM-99-01 is no longer in effect and is 
herewith cancelled.

    Issued in Renton, Washington, on March 1, 2016.
Michael Kaszycki,
Acting Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service.
