Description
Summary:
Human engineering guidelines for the design of instructor/operator stations (IOSs) for aircrew training devices are provided in this handbook. These guidelines specify the preferred configuration of IOS equipment across the range of the anticipated user sizes and performance capabilities. The guidelines are consolidated from various human engineering design standards, scientific literature surveys, and empirical human factors investigations. They address five major topics typically encountered in human engineering IOS design efforts. These are: (1) electronic displays; (2) manual controls; (3) control placement; (4) workstation design; and (5) workstation seating. For each of the design guidelines presented, the sources from which the guideline was extracted, the source dates of publication, and the corresponding source design specifications are provided. Anthropometric data are also included in this handbook to identify the human body dimensions and arm reach distances of males and females. In addition, an annotated bibliography of published IOS design studies is provided. (Author/TW)
