A HUMAN ENGINEERING CHECK LIST

Abstract

This human engineering check list is a byproduct of APGC Project 1978Y1-2, Frequency Diversity Radar Tests (Category I-II, AN/FPS-24 and AN/FPS-27 Radars). A majority of the 287 human engineering items listed herein were prepared and used by the author in conjunction with a human factors study of the anti-jamming console of two FD Radars (AN/FPS-24-27) in September 1960. Although this human engineering check list was designed primarily for ground radar equipment, many of the listed items will be of use to developers and evaluators of airborne equipment. Documentation of this check list was accomplished to provide engineers and development personnel a human factors index for the development of equipment. This list includes the areas of maintenance, safety, anthropometry, environment, displays, controls, instrumentation grouping, and operations. (Author)
