This document summarizes the regulations of civil aviation in terms of icing certifications, and how they affect the flight tests process. To certify a fully new designed aircraft or eVTOLs, chasing the natural icing conditions defined in the regulations is time consuming and pricey, which could be a burden for startup smart transportation companies. Over the years, icing tankers have been built and simulated icing conditions to verify and validate the wind tunnel and computational results. With nozzle arrays controlled by computers, icing tankers simulating and substituting natural icing conditions flight will be a potential way to minimize the certification process.
