Gaining Approval for Seats with Integrated Electronics in Accordance with AC 21-49 Section 7.bARP6448C (Current)8/10/2026
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides a framework for establishing methods and stakeholder responsibilities to ensure that seats with integrated electronic components (e.g., actuation system, reading light, inflatable restraint, in-flight entertainment equipment, etc.) meet the seat technical standard order (TSO) minimum performance standards (MPS). These agreements will allow seat suppliers to build and ship TSO-approved seats with integrated electronic components. The document presents the roles and accountabilities of the electronics manufacturer (EM), the seat supplier, and the TC/ATC/STC applicant/holder in the context of AC 21-49, Section 7.b (“Type Certification Using TSO-Approved Seat with Electronic Components Defined in TSO Design”). This document applies to all FAA seat TSOs C39( ), C127( ), etc. The document defines the roles and responsibilities of each party involved in the procurement of electronics, their integration on a TSO-approved seat, and the seat’s installation on an aircraft. Requirements for design and quality control and the methods for communicating design and change data between EMs and seat suppliers are defined such that standardization is possible across the industry to ensure continued airworthiness of TSO-approved seats with integrated electronic components. This document primarily focuses on correspondence between the seat supplier and the EM. Appendix A: Presents key characteristics of electronic components and guidance on how changes are classified per the requirements of Table 1 of AC 21-49. Appendix B: Provides an outline of a typical data approval process and the change management process between EMs and seat suppliers. Appendix C: While the responsibility rests solely with the seat supplier to ensure all TSO attributes identified in Table 1 of AC 21-49 are acceptable, Appendix C has been included to outline the process for delegating EMs authorization to assess the impact of changes on their equipment with respect to seat TSO attributes. This authorization will allow the classification of the change and the appropriate administration of the change by the EM via seat supplier delegation. Appendix D: Given the mix of business arrangements that can exist in the seat, in-flight, and aircraft procurement life cycle (buyer-furnished equipment, supplier-furnished equipment, customer-furnished equipment), there is discussion on the potential need for separate agreements between the EMs and seat suppliers to ensure binding flow down of design and quality control requirements. As such, a working together agreement (WTA) template is provided as Appendix D.

A Standardized Approach to On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Signal Classification and Dependency AnalysisHRCS-PRP0001 (Current)8/7/2026
Part of the legislated on-board diagnostic (OBD) certification process is focused on identifying and documenting serial data signals that are relevant from a legislated OBD perspective. OBD regulations and documentation required for vehicle certification today are becoming increasingly complex. The reason is that increasing numbers of electronic control units (ECUs) are being introduced that communicate with each other. Most of these ECUs are much more powerful in terms of computational power, enabling the implementation of much more functionality on a single ECU. Most of that new functionality is being developed in software. Where previously hard-wired sensors were dominating, nowadays software components take over interpreting and enhancing sensor inputs. This recommended practice (RP) describes a standardized approach to meet these requirements for such increasingly complex environments. Specifically, this RP outlines how to create a serial data signal input/output (I/O) disclosure list to identify, trace, and categorize serial data signals that are relevant to certification. Furthermore, this RP defines a standardized data exchange format that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers can use to exchange related information. In addition to the vehicle certification context, we see a benefit in applying the described methodologies in other contexts, such as the usage of serial data signals within non-emissions-related and/or safety-critical systems.

A Methodology for Assessing Inlet Swirl DistortionAIR5686 (Current)7/31/2026
This Aerospace Information Report (AIR) addresses the subject of aircraft inlet-swirl distortion. A structured methodology for characterizing steady-state swirl distortion in terms of swirl descriptors and for correlating the swirl descriptors with loss in stability pressure ratio is presented. The methodology is to be considered in conjunction with other SAE inlet distortion methodologies. In particular, the combined effects of swirl and total-pressure distortion on stability margin are considered. However, dynamic swirl, i.e., time-variant swirl, is not considered. The implementation of the swirl assessment methodology is shown through both computational and experimental examples. Different types of swirl distortion encountered in various engine installations and operations are described, and case studies which highlight the impact of swirl on engine stability are provided. Supplemental material is included in the appendices. This AIR is issued to bring together information and ideas required to address the inlet-swirl problem for which common industry practice has yet to be established. This document should foster the tests and analyses necessary to mature the ideas proposed by the committee to a recommended practice. These tests and analyses must include information that justifies three main features of the proposed swirl methodology: (1) swirl descriptors for correlating inlet swirl and stability pressure ratio loss, (2) computational techniques for analyzing compression systems (inlets, fans, compressors), and (3) test protocols (instrumentation and test techniques). The committee anticipates serving the industry by using such information to establish the consensus necessary for issuance of an SAE recommended practice.

Vehicle OBD II Compliance Test Cases for SAE J1979-2/J1979-3J1699/5_202607 (Current)7/23/2026
The primary objective of this recommended practice is to confirm that vehicles can communicate a minimum set of information in accordance with diagnostic test services specified in SAE J1979-2, or the equivalent ISO 14229-1:2013 (Ed. 2) and SAE J1979-3 documents. A successful result using the SAE J1699-5 Automotive Alliance for Innovation (AAI) software for OBD-II testing indicates that the main aspects of UDS communication have been examined, but it does not provide assurance of complete compliance with all aspects of SAE J1979-2 or SAE J1979-3. SAE J1699-5 tests run with a SAE J2534 device hardware and API that is not fully compliant will result in a test failure. This specification takes precedence over all conflicts in the documents cited in this section.

Remote Steering Control SystemsJ2588_202607 (Current)7/23/2026
This SAE Information Report establishes a uniform procedure for assuring the manufactured quality, installed utility, and performance of automotive remote steering controls other than those provided by the vehicle manufacturer (OEM). These products are intended to provide driving capability to persons with physical disabilities. The adaptive modifications seek to compensate for lost or reduced function in the extremities of the driver with a disability. Remote steering controls are designed to provide a steering input device alternative to the OEM steering wheel that either reduces the required input force, changes the required range of motion or changes the location of the steering control, or any combination of the above. These controls supplement by power, other than by the driver’s own muscular efforts, the force output of the driver with a disability. Because this is an Information Report, the numerical values for performance measurements presented in this report and in the accompanying Test Procedure, while based upon the best knowledge available at the time, have not been validated by a testing of the Test Procedure.
