For a compliance gap analysis, the PSAA must address how the RTCA DO-278A gaps found  during the evaluation will be resolved and how the gap resolution process will fit into the  software development process. If the PSAA is not available or the current plan is found  inadequate through the compliance gap analysis, the PO must request that the system  developer / subcontractor either develop a new plan or update the current plan. The PSAA  must also include the gap analysis as part of its documentation.  For a compliance analysis, a report should be generated with each review of the project and  submitted for internal company safety approval. (See  Appendix L for the four typical reviews.) The system developer must develop a report of the noncompliance findings, and noncompliance  issues must be resolved before the Software Accomplishment Summary can be completed. These reviews are the evidence of compliance that will permit the approval authority to sign the  System Safety Assessment Report.
