• Abstract:
  This study examines the use of menus and mnemonics in current Airway Facilities (AF) systems and compares them to human factors
  
  guidelines and best practices. Researchers from the William J. Hughes Technical Center traveled to AF field sites and collected data
  
  on the menus and mnemonics for the systems in use. The researchers extracted human factors guidance on menus and mnemonics
  
  from the literature and surveyed current commercial software. Using this information, they identified commercial standards for menu
  
  structure, terminology, mnemonics, options, and organization. They compared current AF systems against this information and
  
  developed recommendations for the design of future systems.
