Draft AC 20-175A open to comments

  • 1.  Draft AC 20-175A open to comments

    Posted 4 hours ago

    The FAA is updating Advisory Circular AC 20-175 on "Controls for Flight Deck Systems". It retains the original's AC scope of work (cursor control, touchscreen, speech, switch, etc.) and it wants to add guidance for newer cockpit designs, most notably eVTOLs.

    You can read the draft AC 20-175A here https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/draft_docs/draft_ac_20_175A

    You can provide your comments to the FAA until September 24 https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/draft_docs/ac (Search for "20-175" to find the comment matrix and email address for your comments)

    It would be great that our human factors community contributes to this AC with the latest science and improves its guidance. 

    Thanks!
