This paper examines the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Regulation Roadmap as set forth in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 as well as the evolutionary process of relative legal framework. The paper will also explore the role of industry stakeholders and semi-governmental, advisory groups such as the RTCA SC-203 to show the involvement of non-governmental organizations. Leveraging the author´s involvement with RTCA on the Safety Work Group of Special Committee 203, two processes within the context of safety will be explained and problems identified.
