The transport airplane risk assessment methodology, also called the TARAM, is an analysis tool the FAA uses to quantify unsafe conditions when safety-related occurrences are reported. Transport Canada was made aware of the existence of the FAA TARAM analysis but did not receive the analysis itself until the FAA provided it to the department after it requested it, after the Ethiopian Airlines accident in 2019.
Transport Canada does not routinely request this detailed analysis that the FAA does, but does request the information and the findings from it. That's what was requested and reviewed after the Lion Air accident. After the Ethiopian Airlines accident, we recognized that there was something that we did not have. It was the information that we determined was not present during the validation exercise. That's when we asked the FAA to provide us with the full analysis, which they did provide after the Ethiopian Airlines accident.
