2. Why Integrate Human Factors? 2-4

The FAA In Service Review (ISR) Checklist specifically indicates that, as part of the acquisition process, human factors requirements, plans, analyses, and verifications have been determined and documented in accordance with the:

  • FAA Human Factors Acquisition Job Aid
  • FAA Human Factors Design Standard (HF-STD-001B)
  • Human Factors Engineering Requirements (HF-STD-004A)
  • FED-STD-795, Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS)
  • Other appropriate standards and conventions 

The FAA document Safety Risk Management Guidance for System Acquisitions
also merits reference.

The FAA ISR Checklist specifies requirements for assessments that have been conducted to identify, document, and resolve/mitigate HF issues associated with considerations such as:

  • Information requirements, functional design, automation functions/roles
  • Displays and controls, computer-human and human-automation interaction
  • Usability, collaboration and teamwork, communications, workload
  • Workspace design, anthropometrics and other physical work demands
  • Procedures, staffing, training
