To locate journal articles, reports, and other types of material you will need to
use indexes and databases. Selecting the appropriate index or database is an important
step in locating the information you need. There are a number of additional databases
that you may want to use that cover a variety of aspects of aviation. A number of these

Updated irregularly. "The NASA Technical Report Server is an
experimental service that allows users to search the many different abstract and technical
report servers maintained by various NASA centers and programs. Specifically, it is a unified
interface to many separate WAIS servers. NTRS is both a superset of the various servers, and
a canonical listing of the servers." (Text from site 3/8/02)
PapersFirst. 1993- .

Aviation Safety & Security Association
"...provides 'doorways' into various Aviation Human Factors
websites to promote the prevention of accidents and the continuous improvement of
aviation safety. Accidents/Incidents associated with "human error" often reflect the
failure to recognize human factors involving sensory, motor, and cognitive performance
characteristics used to derive human engineering design criteria."
Director of Aviation Research, AAR-1 (FAA)
"...duties include: strategic planning and policy formation;
program assessment and development; collaborative activities with domestic and
international partners; technology assessment; future system requirements and design;
and the management of the human factors, aviation security, and airport and aircraft
safety research and development programs."
Federal Aviation Administration Human Factors
"...provides scientific and technical support for the civil
aviation human factors research program and for human factors applications in acquisition,
certification, regulation, and standards. It develops and assures implementation of human
factors policies, regulations, programs, and procedures which promote the safety and
