DOT/FAA/CT-96/1, HUMAN FACTORS DESIGN GUIDE (HFDG)FOR ACQUISITION OF COMMERCIAL OFF-THE-SHELF SUBSYSTEMS, NON-DEVELOPMENTAL ITEMS (NDI), AND DEVELOPMENTAL SYSTEMS (15 JAN 1996)., The Human Factors Design Guide (HFDG) provides reference information to assist in the selection, analysis, design, development, and
evaluation of new and modified Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) systems and equipment. A preliminary edition was a draft
standard developed at the Human Factors Laboratory of the FAA Technical Center. This 1996 edition converts the preliminary draft
document to a guide and incorporates expert comments that were collected in 1994 and 1995 from selected reviewers. It is primarily
focused on FAA ground systems and equipment such as those that are managed and maintained by Airway Facilities. This guide covers
a broad range of human factors topics that pertain to automation, maintenance, human interfaces, workplace design, documentation,
system security, safety, the environment, and anthropometry. This document also includes extensive human-computer interface
guidance.
