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of Policy Statement As a result of the issuance of AC 25.1329-1B (now 25.1329-1C), Policy Statement Number ANM-99-01 is no longer in effect and is herewith cancelled.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. [FR Doc. 2016-05530 Filed 3-11-16; 8:45 am]
