Human Factors Design Standard

The Human Factors Design Standard (HFDS) for Acquisition of Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) Subsystems, Non-Developmental Items (NDI), and Developmental Systems is a comprehensive reference tool that will help human factors professionals within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and contractor organizations to efficiently carry out FAA human factors policy.

The HFDS was developed by the Human Factors Group at the FAA Technical Center to consolidate and capitalize upon multiple sources of human factors design and evaluation guidelines.  It provides FAA system modernization programs access to the most applicable human factors guidance.  This document is intended to overcome the limitations associated with using other design standards in an FAA environment.

Due to the size of the HFDS, the document was divided into sections with each section saved as two file formats, MSWord and Adobe Acrobat, to enable quick access.
