In the information-intensive flight deck environment, understanding how a display system or control will be used by pilots and flight crews and how it will interact with other flight deck displays and controls is essential.

In this general guidance document, researchers identify and prioritize human factors issues to consider in the design of flight deck displays and controls for all types of aircraft. It is intended to facilitate the identification and resolution of typical human factors issues, and support consistency and compatibility in designs within and across flight decks.

This report was prepared for the Federal Aviation Administration by Volpe co-authors Young Jin Jo and Scott Gabree and FAA co-authors Michelle Yeh and Colleen Donovan.
