European Aviation Safety Agency<br />
Means of compliance<br />
Analysis <strong>and</strong> Simulation have been used <strong>for</strong> a<br />
while in Certification:<br />
Classical List of Means of Compliance:<br />
MOC 0, 1, 2, 3: Documents to Safety Assessments<br />
MOC 4:Lab Test<br />
MOC 5:Ground Tests<br />
MOC 6:Flight Test<br />
MOC 7:Design Inspection<br />
MOC 8: SIMULATION<br />
23 October 08 Vitual Test <strong>and</strong> Engineering Simulation conference- P.Medal Slide 7
European Aviation Safety Agency<br />
Different uses of Simulation<br />
Development <strong>and</strong> Certification<br />
Development: e.g. FS, CAD, (iron bird)<br />
Proof of concept (Flight simulator)<br />
Test of Hazardous Failure Conditions<br />
(rig/flight simulator/other)<br />
Complement existing demonstrations<br />
23 October 08 Vitual Test <strong>and</strong> Engineering Simulation conference- P.Medal Slide 8
European Aviation Safety Agency<br />
Examples of past Experiences<br />
Sextant HUD (early 90s) on:<br />
B 737 Aéropostale <strong>and</strong><br />
MD 82 Alitalia<br />
Goal: additional credit<br />
� L<strong>and</strong>ing 35ft/125 m RVR, hybrid CAT 3a A/P + HUD<br />
� T/O: 75 m RVR<br />
Dassault Aviation (end 90s)<br />
F 900 HUD certification,<br />
� Proof of concept (#1000 approaches in flight simulator with different pilots,<br />
FTP <strong>and</strong> OPS Pilots<br />
23 October 08 Vitual Test <strong>and</strong> Engineering Simulation conference- P.Medal Slide 9
European Aviation Safety Agency<br />
Examples of past Experiences<br />
Electromagnetism (Lightning/HIRF)<br />
Great importance of simulation/analytical means<br />
Difficult to replicate:<br />
� full lightning/HIRF threat<br />
� Interaction with aircraft structure/systems<br />
Current development/certification approach based on a mix on<br />
Testing/Analysis/Numerical & Physical Simulations<br />
Certification traditionally calls <strong>for</strong> aircraft level test to define<br />
transfer function <strong>for</strong> critical systems, allows more analytical<br />
means <strong>for</strong> lower criticality systems<br />
Several researches underway to improve computational codes,<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ardise development approach, simplify certification process<br />
(EU Research Project on Synthetic Environment)<br />

Other examples of use of<br />
Virtual tools<br />
CATIA<br />
Use by Airbus, Boeing, etc…<br />
3D further developments (design <strong>and</strong><br />
Certification)<br />
e.g. Falcon 7X certification, (only 3D<br />
drawings)<br />
23 October 08 Vitual Test <strong>and</strong> Engineering Simulation conference- P.Medal Slide 11
European Aviation Safety Agency<br />
Current Ongoing <strong>activities</strong><br />
Enhanced Vision System<br />
Credit “CAT 1” with lower DH<br />
SVS<br />
No credit so far, but safety analysis to<br />
substantiate no additional risks (Human<br />
Factor aspects)<br />
TAWS (EGPWS)<br />
data bases provide <strong>virtual</strong> elements in<br />
real world<br />
23 October 08 Vitual Test <strong>and</strong> Engineering Simulation conference- P.Medal Slide 12
European Aviation Safety Agency<br />
Challenges<br />
Main challenge is the adequacy of the <strong>virtual</strong><br />
tool to accurately reflect the reality<br />
Tool qualification, how, who, <strong>EASA</strong><br />
involvement<br />
Archiving of electronic data after<br />
obsolescence of hardware & software (CRI<br />
issued)<br />
Raised Part 21 questions<br />
23 October 08 Vitual Test <strong>and</strong> Engineering Simulation conference- P.Medal Slide 13
European Aviation Safety Agency<br />
Certification aspects of <strong>virtual</strong><br />
tools<br />
Presentation of the tool to<br />
certification team (prototype case)<br />
“Validation” of the tool by<br />
Certification team<br />
Example: Finite Elements model<br />
23 October 08 Vitual Test <strong>and</strong> Engineering Simulation conference- P.Medal Slide 14
European Aviation Safety Agency<br />
Training aspects<br />
Operational tools <strong>for</strong> flight crews <strong>and</strong><br />
Mechanics<br />
May avoid mistakes/errors with safety impact,<br />
Again, needs adaptation/substantiation of the tool<br />
to the task<br />
Extension of Agency remit to cover OPS<br />
aspects would lead to more Agency<br />
involvement in those <strong>activities</strong><br />
23 October 08 Vitual Test <strong>and</strong> Engineering Simulation conference- P.Medal Slide 15
European Aviation Safety Agency<br />
Organisational aspects<br />
Shared task between Certification<br />
<strong>and</strong> Organisations<br />
Cooperative process, using<br />
Certification competences to support<br />
DOA audits,<br />
23 October 08 Vitual Test <strong>and</strong> Engineering Simulation conference- P.Medal Slide 16
European Aviation Safety Agency<br />
Regulatory aspects <strong>for</strong> new<br />
functionalities<br />
Current JAA TGL moved to <strong>EASA</strong> frame work<br />
e.g. TGL OPS 42 <strong>for</strong> EHS, (includes Airworthiness<br />
considerations)<br />
Development of Rulemaking material takes<br />
time (3 to 5 years)<br />
Research projects (EU/<strong>EASA</strong>)<br />
Needs anticipation,<br />
“Lobbying”/sponsoring<br />
Unless, Certification with the first project<br />
(CRI), may imply additional costs, time<br />
delays, etc…<br />
23 October 08 Vitual Test <strong>and</strong> Engineering Simulation conference- P.Medal Slide 17
European Aviation Safety Agency<br />
Conclusions<br />
Virtual Test & Engineering Simulation<br />
are already used in aircraft<br />
certification to an extent<br />
<strong>EASA</strong> open to discussion on any new<br />
subject:<br />
Positive achievements will be based on:<br />
� Good planning management <strong>and</strong><br />
� Adequate justifications<br />
