HUMAN PERFORMANCE
Aaron Katz (P50) is the Article 114 Rep for Human Performance. His report is below:
NAS Training Study - The report was briefed to leadership at the November SLM
meeting.
Safety Culture - The out brief was scheduled for the week of Jan. 6. The facility has not
confirmed dates and P80 is in the process of an ATM changeover. They may request to
hold off until the new ATM has time to settle in.
CHI Team Training - The CHI team asked us if we could provide them some basic HF
training. The training was ready to be delivered for the last week of October, but the CHI
team could not coordinate their travel. The class has been tentatively scheduled now for
the week of Jan. 28 in Washington.
Training Effectiveness Survey - All dates have been coordinated. Data collection will be
completed by February 2020.
Behavioral Markers - All interviews have been completed. I will work with NASA to
ensure the recordings are deleted. Once the data is processed, the hope is that we can
develop training to bring to the field.
Visual Scanning - All site visits are now complete and CAMI will begin to process the
research. The next step should be taking their findings and see if we can develop some
effective training from the results.
HP Taxonomy - All work has been completed and a meeting occurred the week of Dec.
16 with joint sponsors Steve Hansen and Tony Schneider.
New HP Areas - I briefed the NEB during the week of Nov. 4. I covered a number of
topics that I would like the HP office to pursue. I wanted to open a dialogue so that
anyone from the board who wants our office to pursue an idea can have a vehicle to do
so. Ideas included: mental health awareness, inter-facility relationships, speech rate and
tone training, and a few others.
Large Monitor Issues - I have been brought into the identified issues with the
implementation of new 43" monitors. Test sites are ZFW, ZOB, and ZMP. I have worked
with Tom Adcock and Rex Jackson and am tentatively slated to field visit ZFW and ZMP
the week of Jan. 6.
