SAE G-34 / EUROCAE WG-114 (AI in aviation standards)

What it is

SAE’s G-34 Artificial Intelligence in Aviation committee is the issuing committee for AI documents in SAE’s aerospace catalogue. It works jointly with EUROCAE’s WG-114 on Artificial Intelligence, so each deliverable has an SAE number and a EUROCAE number.

Deliverables and status

As of 14 October 2026, from the primary pages:

An EASA-hosted presentation shows the ED-324 timeline with “Reached consensus on 24 Aug 2026”. EUROCAE’s page, which we treat as authoritative for publication status, still lists ED-324 as a draft. Check both sites before relying on this.

An SAE journal article refers to the new ML standard as AS6983, while EUROCAE’s current deliverables list uses ED-324/ARP6983. We use ARP6983 / ED-324.

What Issue 1 is scoped to cover

Per the EASA-hosted presentation:

• It is a development-assurance process for approval of aeronautical systems and equipment implemented with ML, in airborne (crewed and uncrewed) and ATM/ANS domains.
• Issue 1 is limited to non-adaptive ML in supervised mode, up to IDAL C / AL 3 / SWAL 2.
• Information security and human factors considerations are out of Issue 1 scope; EUROCAE lists separate draft reports for human factors and information security.

The same presentation says EASA is considering ED-324/ARP6983 as an anticipated acceptable means of compliance (AMC) supporting aviation regulation and the EU AI Act, and that discussions with the FAA and other regulators continue. We found no FAA statement accepting it as a means of compliance.

Why it matters for the FAA path

The FAA roadmap states that the FAA is supporting the development of new standards for AI in SAE G-34. Until ARP6983 is published and accepted, applicants rely on project-specific FAA criteria and existing standards such as DO-178C and DO-330.

Access

Both published information reports are listed on SAE Mobilus: AIR6988 and AIR6987. Track ED-324 on the EUROCAE WG-114 page. Official pages and any listed tools whose public page names ARP6983, ED-324 or WG-114 are on the SAE G-34 filter. The live EUROCAE table, including companion ER drafts through 30 June 2027, is recorded in SAE G-34 / ARP6983 status. See also How to map an AI model to DO-178C / DO-330 tool qualification.
