American regulatory order / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FAA Order 8110.49A, Software Approval Guidelines, is an FAA publication that explains how Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aircraft certification offices and designees (e.g., DERs) can use and apply DO-178B/DO-178C standards when reviewing software projects and conducting Software Conformity Inspections. These guidelines apply to Aircraft Certification Service and Flight Standards District Office personnel, persons designated by the administrator, and organizations associated with the certification processes required by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). Past revisions of the order also provided guidelines to applicants to those certification processes; for example, Leanna Rierson referred applicants to a number of chapters of the Change 1 release of Order 8110.49.[1]
Objectives:
- Coverage of the historic but now reduced Mega Order
- Redirect target for the original Orders replaced by the Mega Order (so they don't need separate stubs)
- Traceability from CASTs to the Mega Order and EASA CMs
- Traceability from the Mega Order to the replacement Orders and ACs
- Feature on DYK

Originally known as the Mega Order because of its replacement of several FAA orders and notices with a single large FAA order,[2] the present Revision A deals with just two subjects:
- The FAA Software Review Process (for assessing compliance with agreed certification bases)
- Software Conformity Inspection.
The order also contains worksheets that certification authorities may use to determine their level of review involvement in a software project (previously known as Level of FAA Involvement, or LOFI).
