This paper, presented at the SESAR Innovation days 2024, examines the certification challenges and opportunities posed by advanced automation and AI-based systems in ATM.

Based on key issues from ongoing technical and regulatory discussions, the research evaluates current innovative certification approaches and explores how levels of automation can enable a more refined development and certification process. In light of the results obtained, the paper proposes new directions that could advance a holistic approach to certification, considering the guidance provided by EASA.
