This report presents the results of the validation activities conducted within the HUCAN project for SESAR Solution 0445 – New holistic certification approach for novel ATM-related systems based on higher levels of automation. The validation was carried out remotely through the establishment and consultation of an Expert Group (EG), which provided feedback, comments, and suggestions regarding the validity, usefulness, and applicability of the proposed approach. The outcome of the validation was positive. Overall, the experts acknowledged the value of promoting a certification-aware design approach for both system development and validation, as a means to support SESAR and non-SESAR projects in aligning with EASA’s strategic objectives for AI certification in aviation. This approach is seen as instrumental in fostering consistency across SESAR projects, enabling a homogeneous application of certification principles throughout the development pipeline, and in enhancing synergies between VALIDATION REPORT Edition 01.00 research and certification efforts. In particular, creating a continuum that spans from design to final certification, is expected to reduce the risks of gaps between innovation and compliance, thus contributing to speed up the innovation process.
