About this file
This document provides an overview of the Federal Aviation Administration's Aerospace Human Factors Research Division. The Division conducts research across every aspect of flight operations and air traffic management through several specialized laboratories. These laboratories include the National Aerospace System Human Factors Safety Research Labs and Safe Operations in Aerospace Research Labs. The research involves pilots, air traffic controllers, technicians and other personnel. The Division operates various flight simulators and specialized research facilities to simulate air traffic control environments and all types of aircraft. It also utilizes extended reality technologies and other specialized tools for data collection and testing. The Division is soliciting proposals under opportunity 6973GH-23-R-00190 for maintenance support of its human factors flight deck research simulators. This support work will be performed at the Division's research facilities and laboratories.
