Research progress of AI-based avionics system certification for airworthiness compliance

Abstract

For the public and stakeholders, it is necessary to demonstrate airworthiness safety of AI-based avionics system in acceptable means of compliance, so as to solve problems of trustworthiness, uncertainty and explainabili-ty of civil aircraft avionics system caused by introducing artificial intelligence/machine learning technology. First of all, the classification and application status of AI-based avionics system are analyzed, and the applicability of exist-ing guidelines and standards are expounded. Then, based on the review of the current research progress, the imple-mentation process and technical details of the certification framework for AI-based avionics system are summarized.Finally, the requirements and implementation methods of the compliance verification of AI-based avionics system in each stage of the whole life cycle are put forward, and the impact of compliance verification on the existing air-worthiness system is evaluated. The study provides the reference for the design and certification of civil aircraft AIbased avionics system.
