Certification of rotorcraft by flight simulation has been exploited in the past on a case-by-case basis to reduce the cost and flight test safety risks associated with certification.

To allow the exploitation of this approach by all relevant stakeholders, it is necessary to consolidate past experience and dedicated research into a set of guidelines supported by both the industry and the certification authority.

Flight simulators are traditionally defined for training, with a focus on the positive transfer generated on the trainee. The development of a FS for certification purposes requires a change from this point of view, because for certification the models must be both high fidelity and physically representative of the aircraft, to ensure that the correct response of the actual aircraft will be simulated in the FS.

The seminar, offered to the "Rotorcraft Design" MSc course, will present the Clean Sky 2 project "Rotorcraft Certification by Simulation" (RoCS) ↗, coordinated by Professor Giuseppe Quaranta ↗, the principles that informed it and its achievements. .
