**Instructions for Reviewing FY 16 Human Factors**

**Research Requirements**

1) **Review Highly Rated (Good) Requirements.**Three examples provided for your information.

· TAS-15-01  Models for Advanced Flight Simulators For Advanced Maneuvers (Note: our opinion is that this one is a little better than the other good examples.)

· FCMS-15-02  Preventing Loss of Control in Part 23 by Safer Automation using Envelope Protection

· UAS-15-02  Sense and Avoid (SAA) System Certification Considerations Testing and Validation of Non-deterministic Data Processing

Please keep in mind that the purpose is not to review these; they serve as examples of what was considered "good".

2) **Cross Check Good Requirements Against Instructions**

3) **Review Human Factors FY 16 Requirements:**

· Enhancing Aviation Safety Through Advanced Procedures, Training & Checking Methods, to include Jet Upset

· Human Factors Maintenance Risk Management

· Avionics & New Technologies: Certification and Operational Approval Criteria

4) **Cross Check HF Requirements Against Instructions**

5) **Note Areas For Improvement**

6) **Note Questions/Issues**

7) **Review Other HF FY16 Requirements- As Time Permits**

8) **Identify Research Gaps ...What Did We Miss?**

9) **Requirements Should:**

a) Clearly define the desired outcome(s) and implementation plan

b) Be Complete. Complete all areas of the requirements form

c) Be submitted at least one month before the due date to receive feedback from sponsoring S/O prior to the AVS RED Group evaluations

10) **Content of requirements**

a) Understand the audience and write the requirements accordingly

b) Clearly indicate what, why, and when outputs are needed

c) Cleary explain how the outputs of research will be used to meet the intended outcome

d) Identify clear end goal desired, quantitatively whenever possible.

e) Identify distinct phases of research with specific exit criteria for each phase

f) Provide evidence and impact justification for all ranking criteria

g) Clearly identify any coordination with other TCRGs

11) **Rob’s Requirements Checklist:**

A. Was the requirement properly vetted through the sponsoring S/O?  Did you get appropriate management approval and commitment?

B. Did you clearly define the need and establish a line-of-sight to the AVS Mission of continued operational safety, development of standards and policies, and certification?

C. Did you clearly define the desired outcome of the program and the implementation plan to reach the outcome for the research?

D. Did you identify phases for the research?  Does each phase have milestones, metrics, and exit criteria?

E. Did you clearly identify what the intended output of the research will be?

F. Did you provide strong evidence and impact statements for each ranking criteria?

12) ***AVS Mission: To promote aviation safety in the interest of the American public and the millions of people who rely on the aviation industry for business, pleasure, and commerce.***

**Three primary focal areas:**

**Continued Operational Safety**

Ensure existing certificate holders continue to meet the safety requirements, standards, and regulations of their original certification

**Standards & Policy**

Create & amend as necessary the rules & regulations that provide the safety standards for the U.S. civil aviation system

**Certification**

Issue and renew certificates for

A. Operations

B. Manufacturing aircraft and avionics

C. Maintenance services
