New Practice for Proportional Application of Development Assurance on Aircraft
1. Scope
Initially, the scope of this effort is to clearly define the problem statement. Once that is accomplished in a manner acceptable to both the regulators and industry, solution paths can be explored. It is possible that this effort will result in recommendations for revisions to existing documents rather than a new document.
Keywords
development assurance; DAL
Rationale
The regulators have identified that "advanced" and/or "complex" technologies have begun finding their way into lower-level aircraft, which may result in a gap regarding application of appropriate development assurance methodologies since lower-level aircraft are currently exempt from such considerations.
