SAE ARP7094

The scope of this ARP is as follows: Use of M&S for type certification of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft, product, or system. However, this does not preclude this ARP being used for certification of other aircraft types and associated products and systems. This ARP is not applicable to flight simulation training device (FSTD) qualifications or pilot certification. If a qualified FSTD is proposed for aircraft, product, or system certification, it must demonstrate sufficient M&S substantiation to meet the related requirement. Structural design and modeling are not addressed by this document. EMI/EMC certification is not addressed by this document. This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) establishes a process for using modeling and simulation (M&S) as a method of compliance for meeting regulatory requirements that have been traditionally demonstrated through analysis, ground testing, and flight testing. While M&S has seen limited use for certification in the past, the recent introduction of innovative new aircraft and systems, which use highly complex technologies that are difficult, or even impossible, to test fully, necessitates a much more rigorous process for their use.
