Petition for Exemption

Docket No.: FAA–2023–2111.

Petitioner: Software Development Alternatives, Inc.

Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: § 21.603(a)(1).

Description of Relief Sought: Software Development Alternatives, Inc. (SDA) is seeking relief from 14 Code of Federal Regulations, § 21.603(a)(1), which requires in pertinent part, an applicant for a technical standard order (TSO) authorization must apply in the form and manner prescribed by the FAA and that the applicant must include a statement of conformance certifying that the applicant has met the requirements of this subpart and that the article concerned meets the applicable TSOs that were effective on the date of application for that article. Specifically, SDA is proposing the FAA grant an exemption to allow a TSOA submittal for the article to be evaluated against TSO–C160 and TSO–C113, which were effective when the article was approved for manufacture by the FAA on March 7th, 2012.
