Human Factors AssessmentHuman Factors AssessmentHuman Factors Assessment

Part of the design process, not a separate ‘check’

Starts at the beginning of a program, continues

throughout the service life of the airplane

Methods used vary as a result of:

Maturity of concept

Criticality or complexity of new function or feature

Magnitude of known requirements Fidelity of tools available



Assessment Approaches Assessment Approaches Assessment Approaches

Design philosophies Boeing and Industry standards

Analysis & modeling
