7-7 Solution Implementation

Observing HF Activities and Approving Contractor’s HF Deliverables.

  • Step 11. Observing contractor HF-related activities, including EUIEs, design reviews by the CHI team and other testing events, providing the Contractor HFC with input based on these observations as well as using those insights to support judgments in approving SI deliverables
  • Step 12. Reviewing and approving HF deliverables produced by the Contractor HFC

Of particular importance in this set of deliverables are HF Contract Data Requirement Lists (CDRLs) regarding the use of the system by each of the relevant user groups, such as the human engineering design approach document for the operator (Operator HEDAD-OO) ) and the maintainer human engineering design approach documentdocument (HEDAD-MM).).

The goal of these documents is to provide a thorough picture of the operator tasks, equipment and operator interfaces with that equipment. More specifically, each of these documents provides an evaluation of whether the equipment having an interface with that type of operator meets with human engineering design criteria, and describes the characteristics, layout and interface of the equipment having an operator interface. This evaluation is based on an assessment of the proposed design, including software (CHI and underlying functionality) and hardware in the context of the proposed workflow and procedures as well as in the context of the broader physical and software environment. This evaluation is based on the requirements of FAA-HFS-STD-001B.

Thus, the scope of the HEDAD for each type of operator is to document the following workstation, workstation interface and operator information:

  • Workstation equipment and layout, controls and displays, requirements for operator vision, environmental factors, workstation lighting, workstation signals, communication systems, special design features, multiple operator station requirements
  • Description of the guiding human design rationale
  • Analysis of operator tasks
  • Evaluation of the consistency of the design decisions with human engineering design criteria
