SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 13, 1982, the Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, 
Aircraft Certification Service, issued Policy Statement Number PS-
ANM100-1982-00038, FAR 25.723 Energy Absorption Tests. This policy 
statement addressed limits of extrapolation of landing gear drop test 
data.
    The FAA issued AC 25.723-1, Shock Absorption Tests, on May 25, 
2001, concurrently with Amendment 25-103, which changed the rule, 14 
CFR 25.723. The AC addresses the same issue as the older policy 
statement but reflects the latest rule and is more specific. The FAA 
intended to cancel the policy when they released AC 25.723-1 but 
overlooked it.

Cancellation of Policy Statement

    As a result of the issuance of AC 25.723-1 and Amendment 25-103, 
Policy Statement Number PS-ANM100-1982-00038 is no longer in effect and 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, ANM-100.
