5-6 Concept & Requirements Definition

Preliminary FAA Integrated HF Program (FAA IHFP). One of the products of CRD produced by the preliminary HFC is a preliminary FAA IHFP. The recommended format and content is available at FAA IHFP. This document includes:

  • Purpose, scope, and objectives of the IHFP
  • HF organization, role, and responsibilities
  • HF strategy, approach
  • Solution/program description
  • Program background information

The FAA IHFP is a living document, incorporating changes and revisions as a result of the identification of evolving HF issues and risks associated with the operation and maintenance of the solution. Note that the preliminary IHFP should include identification of documentation that will support closure of the HF items in the In Service Review (ISR) Checklist.

In addition to supporting the HF inputs to the IHFP itself, the Preliminary FAA HFC also will ensure drafting of a 1-2 paragraph summary detailing how generic requirements are provided for good HF engineering practices. This summary also indicates how solution-specific HF requirements are derived from the shortfall analysis, SME interviews, task and function analysis, concept demonstrations, and additional HF analyses designed to mature specific human performance requirements.
