Multi-function displays : a guide for human factors evaluation.

This guide is designed to assist aircraft certification personnel and avionics manufacturers in evaluating the human factors aspects of Multi-function Displays (MFDs) for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification. The guide focuses specifically on human factors and does not address issues concerning the functional performance or operational accuracy of the display units. The guide is expected to be used as an assistive tool, and is organized as a checklist to provide structure for MFD evaluations. The guide summarizes human factors standards, guidelines, and research on MFDs, and evaluation criteria are grouped in sections of related areas ordered to facilitate the evaluation process. Regulatory documents, advisory information, and recommended practices relevant to the specific topics are cited with each section
