Aerospace Medical and Human Factors Research
Aerospace Human Factors Research (continued)
General Aviation and Air Traffic Control are two of the broad interest areas of the researchers in the division. Some of the researchers use simulators to test hypotheses and conduct experiments. Conducting experiments in a laboratory environment allows the researchers to control the factors they wish to investigate. Furthermore, research is also conducted at actual worksites, with the focus being on field and observational studies.
Within Aerospace Human Factors Research, there are two laboratories, the Flight Deck Human Factors Research Laboratory and the NAS Human Factors Safety Research Laboratory, that conduct research, and five active simulators to support that research.
