... The TARAM process has evolved significantly from lessons learned over the past decade to support the MSAD process, which is described in the TARAM Handbook2 and in the FAA Policy Statement PS-ANM-25-05, Risk Assessment Methodology for Transport Category Airplanes dated November 4, 2011. 1  Federal Aviation Administration, 2012, "Monitor Safety/Analyze Data (MSAD)

... 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. The committee also learned in its engagement with the FAA that the agency now has only one recognized subject-matter expert for TARAM.

... , and when practical be implemented in TARAM. Recommendation 4: Within 6 months of receipt of this report, the Federal Aviation Administration should evaluate and document its approach to the use of quantitative common cause failure analysis, performed under probabilistic risk assessment, to determine its applicability for the continued opera tional safety process.

... Recommendation 8: Within 18 months of receipt of this report, the Federal Aviation Administration should create a documented protocol addressing how uncertainties associated with Transport Air plane Risk Assessment Methodology outputs should be accounted for in continued operational safety decision-making. Incorporating Risk Importance Ranking in TARAM Decision-Making Guidance Research needs to be conducted on the risk importance measure methodology for TARAM.

... Recommendation 12: Within 18 months of receipt of this report, the Federal Aviation Administration should develop and maintain a technical training program for aviation safety engineers and their management who conduct and review Transport Airplane Risk Assessment Methodology analysis. The training should include the concepts of probabilistic risk analysis and the use of risk assessment results in the continued operational safety (COS)
