1. Certification Workshop
John Hickey
Norbert Lohl

2. Discussion Summary Certification Standards for New Technologies
Small jets
Identify two approaches; jets under lbs use part 23 with SCs and over use commuter category
Synthetic vision: approval for awareness only, no operational credit
Standardisation guide for part 23 “cockpits”
Ensure consistency between EASA and FAA
UAVs
Will not degrade safety when integrated into existing airspace
All elements need to be addressed including aircraft, communication links, human interfaces

3. Discussion Summary
Complex Integrated Avionic Systems and System Safety
Trend from independent functions to full integration of avionics with some flight control and airplane systems resulting in increases in software size and complexity
Increasing dependence on Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) hardware and software resulting in a shift of the TC Holder from designer/builder to integrator/assembler
Current processes, e.g., DO-178, were developed with more simple systems in mind
Cooperation is needed between authorities and industry to determine whether the overall safety assessment process needs to be revisited
Need to consider customer needs

4. Discussion Summary Policy in regards to Non-TSO Functions
Non-TSO functions can be included in TSOs
EASA and FAA are proposing new policy for addressing Non-TSO functions included in TSO design data but differ in approach
Harmonization between FAA and EASA will be sought

5. Conclusion
Close cooperation between regulatory authorities and industry is required
Central core of experts, e.g., a Center of Excellence, to address advance technology leading to certification
Unified support for moving avionic technology quickly and efficiently into the system to improve safety
