Aviation

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! HF in Aviation is concerned with the application of human factors to the development, design, certification, operation, and maintenance of human-machine systems in aviation and space environments. HF pros addresses issues for civilian and military systems in the realm of performance and safety. Human factors practitioners working in the field of aerospace are engaged in basic research, advanced system design, and improvement of current operational systems. The human factors practitioner is the primary user advocate during system development, testing, and operation. Specific areas of emphasis include the following: • Crewstation design - single and multi-operator • Operator-computer interface-software design • Training devices and protocols, system usability evaluations The government, industry, and academia conduct research related to human factors in aerospace systems. Most of this research is involved with military and civilian aircraft, air traffic control or space systems. Some of the areas of research include: • Development of an automated measure of air traffic controller workload • Information requirements of en route air traffic controllers • Luminance requirements for helmet-mounted displays Be sure to check out our main show at our official website: https://www.humanfactorscast.media Support us on these platforms to get access to the entire Human Factors Minute library: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscast Buy us a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hfactorspodcast Join us on Discord:https://go.humanfactorscast.media/Discord Follow us: Human Factors Cast Merchandise Store: https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/Store/ Follow us on Twitch: https://twitch.tv/HumanFactorsCast Follow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/HumanFactorsCast Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/humanfactorscast Follow us on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/HFactorsPodcast Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HumanFactorsCast Resources: Music by Kevin McLeod: https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/

Profile picture for Nick Roome

Nick Roome

Nick is currently a Senior UX Researcher at Turvo in the Pacific Northwest, focused on developing innovative solutions and optimizing human performance for SaaS based supply chain logistics programs. Alongside colleague and friends, Blake Arnsdorff and Barry Kirby, Nick hosts and produces Human Factors Cast, a weekly podcast that investigates the sciences of human factors, psychology, engineering, biomechanics, industrial design, physiology and anthropometry and how it affects our interaction with technology. Nick’s other areas of interest include, but are not limited to virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, systems engineering, and artificially intelligent systems.

Nick Started Human Factors Cast in early 2016 as a side-project. He believed that the way Human Factors concepts were being communicated is broken and saw a way to fix it. After getting initial traction, Nick moved to work on the Human Factors Cast Digital Media Lab and began assembling a multi-disciplinary team to test out new concepts in Human Factors communication.
