We present a versatile statistical verification methodology and we illustrate different uses of this methodology on two examples of non-linear real-time UAV controllers. The first example applies our statistical methodology to the verifyication of a computation time property for a software implementation of a high-performance controller as a function of controller state variable values. The second example illustrates our statistical verification methodology applied to finding verifiably safe flight envelopes for a class of maneuvers, again as a function of controller state variable values. We compare our approach to verification with other statistical techniques used for estimating execution times and controller performance. We close with candidate topics for future work.
