Abstract:The Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act requires improved integration of human factors in the Federal Aviation Administration’s regulatory processes and material. This paper reviews research that could contribute to the data and processes that would be useful to the FAA in Aircraft Evaluation Division (AED) tasks. The more specific the human factors information, however, the less generalizable the finding and will need to be interpreted and applied within the context of the knowledge of specific functions. The best use of the information and processes in the literature would be to develop tools and specific guidance for AED personnel. These tools could increase the standardization of AED tasks and maintain the flexibility of the AED to decide what needs to be assessed, how it should be assessed, and how the results should be interpreted and applied. Research needed to progress the development of these tools and guidance is identified as well as recommended approaches. A repository of AED decisions would be useful in helping to guide decisions and increase standardization. Finally, the feasibility of de-identifying and compiling data on pilot performance and issues identified by pilots after final design approval should be explored.
