This survey has been put together by the RAeS Human Factors Group: Engineering (HFG:E) to gain an understanding of the perceptions within the industry relating to current engineering HF issues. The questions are loosely based around the "CAA Strategy For Human Factors In Civil Aviation 2014-2015”, which was updated in March 2014 and outlines the CAA’s current vision and direction relating to Human Factors in aviation.

The results of the survey will be presented and discussed at the forthcoming RAeS HFG:E Conference, “Human Factors in Engineering - The Next Generation” (Cranfield University, 12 May 2015).
