GM4 SIMD.200 Engineering simulator/simulation validation data

ED Decision 2014/033/R

(a)     An OSD applicant may choose to supply validation source data from a technically verified engineering simulator/simulation’ to selectively supplement flight test data.

(b)     To be qualified to supply engineering simulator/simulation validation data, an applicant should:

(1)     have a proven track record of successfully developing data packages;

(2)     have demonstrated high quality prediction methods through comparisons of predicted and flight test validated data;

(3)     provide a demonstration of the engineering simulator/simulation fidelity to the aircraft. The use of the engineering simulator/simulation to support aircraft development and certification is an acceptable means of demonstration; and

(4)     have an acceptable configuration control system in place covering the engineering simulator/simulation.

(c)      Applicants that seek to take advantage of this alternative arrangement should inform EASA at an early stage of the process.
