Leveraging Test and Simulation to De-risk Certification
Aircraft certification can be extraordinarily expensive and time consuming, specifically when considering the nuance of handling electromagnetic effects. Traditional approaches have been “test first, ask questions later” which from experience sets a program up for costly rework and schedule slips.
At EMA, we’ve been supporting aircraft certification programs through test, simulation, and consulting for over 40 years. By working on so many different programs and projects over the years, coupled with our industry leaders in these areas, EMA has obtained a deep level of insight that has been shown to greatly reduce the risk of non-compliances when it comes to certification.
In this webinar, we will share some valuable insights and approaches that will get you the data you need when you need it, without performing unnecessary test and analysis throughout the program. By following the adage “Simulate what you can, test what you have to” you will learn how EMA helps companies navigate certification by dispelling painful myths and outdated practices.

Topic: Guide to Civil Aircraft Electromagnetic Compatibility Presenters: Tim McDonald, EMA President Bill Martin, EMC Expert Abstract: We review the guidance in SAE ARP60493 for demonstrating that electrical and electronic systems installed on civil aircraft can operate without adversely affecting the operation of other aircraft electrical and electronic systems. This includes guidance for defining appropriate […]
Topic: Installed Antenna Performance and RFI Presenter: Matt Miller, EMA Principal Scientist II Chris Maholm, Dayton Granger Director of Business Development Abstract: Radio Frequency (RF) systems represent one of the most critical technology areas today. Without RF systems, all types of vehicles cannot navigate, communication cannot occur, advanced weapons cannot hit their targets, and the […]
Topic: Analysis to Predict Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Compliance of Units and Devices for Suppliers Presenter: Tim McDonald Abstract: Tier-1 suppliers of electronics units for aircraft, automobiles, or other platforms must meet electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. Platform integrators establish EMC requirements in order to ensure overall system compatibility. Almost always, the method of compliance to the […]
Topic: Using Simulation to Reduce Damage and Maximize Availability in Wind Turbine Applications Presenter: Justin McKennon Abstract: Lightning effects on wind turbine blades present significant challenges to manufacturers and operators. The industry is skewing heavily towards larger wind turbine blades and more remote locations, and these pose substantial logistical challenges in terms of accessibility, cost […]
Topic: HIRF and Lightning Certification for VTOL Airtaxi Speaker: Giancarlo Guida Abstract: With Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) air taxis, the engineering community is once again called to support an emerging technology that could have an amazing impact on the way people and goods are transported allowing for safer and more environmentally friendly urban mobility. […]
Topic: Existing and Emerging Challenges Facing Automotive EMC Presenter: Jonathan Nydell, President and Founder, JN Engineering LLC Abstract: Technical development has turned automotive systems into complex electrical and RF devices. Fully electric powertrains and the development of vehicle autonomy increases the need for active electrical components, complex interconnected systems, and the use of RF systems. […]
Topic: How to Get Your Aerospace Platform Certified for Lightning Presenters: Tim McDonald Giancarlo Guida Abstract: Lightning is a required environment for certification of many air and space platforms. The lightning requirement has a long history in transport aircraft. In addition, lightning requirements are often imposed on many novel applications including: Personal taxi aircraft Unmanned […]
Topic: Fully Coupled Internal Spacecraft Charging Simulations with EMA3D- Internal (now Ansys Charge Plus) Presenter: Bryon Neufeld Abstract: EMA3D®-Internal (now Ansys Charge Plus) is a fully 3D internal space charging software tool. It allows for a comprehensive internal space charging analysis to be performed almost entirely within a graphical user interface, including: sophisticated geometry import, […]
Topic: Testing and Simulation to Achieve FAA Certification of Aircraft Fuel Tanks to Lightning Presenters: Billy Martin Cody Weber Abstract: Failure is truly not an option when it comes to FAA certification of passenger aircraft. The bar for acceptance of testing and simulation is incredibly high. Would you like your engineering team to learn what […]
Topic: Avoid Costly RF Cosite Interference Before It Becomes a Problem Presenter: Matt Miller Abstract: Interference between RF devices is one of the biggest challenges in designing and maintaining commercial and defense systems. These systems include ships, airplanes, drones, cell phones, satellites, automobiles and generally, anything that has RF systems installed in or on it. […]
