The document discusses the application of a legal case methodology to the development of ACAS XA. It provides background on the author's experience working on TCAS II and ACAS X. It summarizes that applying the legal case methodology did not reassure the author and undermined their confidence in the legal process. The document also notes that while the methodology could determine liability risk, it does not evaluate accident probability or likelihood of a case being brought. There is no possibility of using the legal case methodology in the ACAS X concept of operations. The only seen use is to transfer risk between actors.
