Abstract
Rising maintenance costs and the necessity for
increased availability have resulted in a new emphasis
on maintainability as a design parameter in the
acquisition of Naval air systems. Human factors
engineering, traditionally considered a means of
improving operator performance, is also a designer's
tool for improving aircraft maintainability.
Department of Defense directives mandating that all
systems be designed according to specific human
factors engineering and maintainability criteria
confirm the necessity for including the human engineer
in the designing of aircraft for maintainability.
Appendix A, "The Checklist for Human Factors
Engineering of Maintainability in Naval Air Systems
Design," has been developed as a tool for aircraft
designers and Navy design monitors to ensure human
factoring criteria have been incorporated in the
maintainability of the major aircraft subsystems.
