... However, the publications referenced by the Order have had notable revisions following this Order's last revision in 2012. For example, FAA Order 8110.107A, section 6-1 bullet c., directly quotes FAA Order 8040.4, Safety Risk Management Policy, original revision, as a basis to substantiate the use of MSAD, quoting "The FAA shall use a formal, disciplined, and documented decision-making process to address safety risks in relation to high-consequence decisions affecting the complete life cycle." However, FAA Order 8040.4, revision B, does not include the quote found in FAA Order 8110.107A, which was removed in FAA Order 8040.4, revision A, in 2012.

... Recommendation 1: Within 18 months of receipt of this report, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) should update its policy and guidance regarding the application of Transport Airplane Risk Assessment Methodology and Monitor Safety/Analyze Data processes so that they align with other FAA orders that describe the agency's overarching safety policies and processes for Safety Management Systems and Safety Risk Management.

... Airplanes certified to 14 CFR Part 25 apply this policy, guidance, and industry standards in the form of a Safety Assessment Process to their systems to demonstrate compliance to 14 CFR 25.1309. While the application of this process is limited in scope to an evaluation of systems, its resulting data could prove beneficial as a component of evaluation within TARAM. It is recognized that the TARAM Handbook discusses the relationship of 14 CFR 25.1309 to post-certification risk assessment but does not discuss how to apply it.
