Prototype Evaluation

  • Cert Center Canada’s unique “Come As You Are” concept helps Customers economically and rapidly evaluate prototypes technologies in a representative and comprehensive environment using Cert Center Canada’s own research simulator and Piaggio Avanti Flying Avionics Test Bed.
  • Allows for very early evaluation of prototypes to obtain objective feedback on technology functionality in an integrated environment (ATC, Pilot, other aircraft, other avionics)
  • Makes TRL 2 and higher technologies appear as TRL 8
  • Does not require costly aircraft modifications (no holes, no cables, no flight ready hardware required)
