There is an increasing demand for integrating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into civilian airspaces. Consequently, onboard systems should be evaluated for possible threats to human life. This paper discusses future certification requirements for flight control actuators. A scheme is proposed for evaluating reliability requirements for flight control electro-mechanical actuators (EMAs) considering different flight control configurations. This work is part of the TEMA-UAV project, which aims at developing certifiable fault-tolerant actuation for future UAVs.
