Description
This laboratory conducts applied human factors research on causal factors associated with aviation accidents and issues involving the design, operation, and maintenance of flight deck equipment in the National Aerospace System (NAS). Research includes assessing advanced technologies, measuring flight performance and risk, evaluating pilot/controller information transfer, determining the effects of stressors on human performance, identifying human factors involved in accidents and incidents, and quantifying the effects of advanced displays, procedures, and task design on pilot performance.
