Flight Simulation Conference Returns to London in October 2025

United Kingdom – The RAeS Flight Simulation Conference will again be hosted this October at the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) in London. The two-day event will bring together leading voices from industry, regulatory bodies, academia, and the user community for focused discussion and knowledge-sharing. The full programme for 21 and 22 October 2025 is now available, and registration has opened via the Society’s website. 

Building on last year’s successful conference, the 2025 edition will follow up on key developments and progress in global regulation while exploring the increasing use of transformative technologies in flight simulation. A particular focus will be on how simulation is helping accelerate aircraft development and certification for new platforms. 

The keynote session will provide critical briefings on implementing the new EASA Certification Specification for Flight Simulation Training Devices (CS-FSTD) and updates on upcoming ICAO activities for a “new 9625.” Attendees will hear directly from the experts shaping these developments and gain insight into their impact on training, qualification, and operational use of flight simulation. 

Conference sessions are organised around the following core themes: 

  • FSTD Regulatory Update 
  • Cleared for takeoff: Innovation Meets Regulation 
  • Accelerating Aircraft Development by Simulation 
  • Applications of Simulation 
  • Pushing the Horizon: Transformative Tech
