FAA HUMAN FACTOR IN AVIATION MAINTENANCE HF MROAmnat Sk
This manual is in response to the industry’s requests for a simple and manageable list of actions to implement a Maintenance Human Factors (MHF) program. A panel of experts selected the following six topics for such a program to be successful:
Event Investigation
Documentation
Human Factors Training
Shift/Task Turnover
Fatigue Management
Sustaining & Justifying an HF Program
For each of the six topics that contribute to the success of any MHF program, this manual offers the following:
Why is the topic important?
How do you implement it?
How do you know it is working?
Key references
Like any good operator’s manual, this document tells you what to do without excessive description of why you should do it. This manual recognizes you already know the importance of Human Factors. For detailed information, see the “Key References” at the end of each topic.
The selected six topics are critical because they are based on operational data and practical experience from the US and other countries. Transport Canada (TC), United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA), and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations contributed to this manual. The steps are derived from a panel of ten industry and government contributors who have worked in aviation maintenance for an average of twenty-five years and in MHF for fifteen years. The contributors characterized these six topics and related steps as “information they wish they had known 15 years ago.”
These straightforward suggestions provide the key components for implementing a successful MHF program that will benefit your company, business partners, external customers, and the entire industry. Information is presented in summary bullets as follows:
These are six topics, from many, that a MHF program may consider.
Topics are not necessarily in order of importance, except that the data obtained from Event Investigation (Section 1) provide the foundation for many Human Factors activities.
You may implement any or all of the topics, however, they should be coordinated.
Your MHF activity should be based on the identified requirements and resources of your organization.
You are encouraged to supplement this Operator's Manual with additional references.
This document satisfies the industry request for a short and straightforward list of important actions.
The Cognitive Era and the Future of ContentScott Abel
A new era of computing—The Cognitive Era—is taking shape right now. It promises monumental change; altering forever the way we create, manage, and deliver content.
Over the next two decades cognitive computing will radically transform every aspect of our field. It will change the way human beings around the globe live and work. It will change the way business solve problems and make decisions. And, it will provide us with powerful methods of enabling customer success.
The Cognitive Era is not science fiction. It’s science fact. It’s here today. Let’s explore the possibilities.

Establishing thought leadership with content manufacturing and influencer mar...Scott Abel
One of the biggest problems facing content marketers and other content professionals today is their inability to create content that establishes a brand as a thought leader. There's never enough time to create all the content needed. This presentation examines an influencer marketing campaign that takes advantage of content manufacturing and that leverages the unified content strategy. While you may not leverage the same tools and standards that we did, the concepts are applicable to almost any content producing organization.
Creating A Digital Content Factory: Getting Started with Intelligent ContentScott Abel
Content marketing production processes are broken. Most organizations can’t crank out the wide variety of content needed because their processes are outdated, inefficient, and riddled with waste. Oh, and then there are tools. Content marketers don’t have the right ones for the jobs at hand.
In this presentation, content strategy guru Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, will demystify the benefits of intelligent content for content marketers and outline the changes needed in order for marketers to take advantage of the approach.
Attendee takeaways:
How adopting intelligent content can turn a content marketing department into a content marketing factory
How some brands are leveraging intelligent content to produce more content with less effort
Lessons learned from the pros working in the trenches

Intelligent Content in the Experience Age by Scott Abel, The Content WranglerScott Abel
In the Experience Age, consumers expect much more from brands than they have in the past. Once they’ve enjoyed an exceptional customer experience, they become intolerant of confusing, irrelevant, and inconsistent content. Brands that recognize this fact and deliver exceptional content experiences across all customer touchpoint will be rewarded with loyalty.
In order to deliver exceptional content experiences, savvy brands are taking a critical look at how they create, manage, and deliver content. And, what they’re finding is that the approaches they’ve relied on for decades can no longer meet current and future business needs.
Enter intelligent content. Content with superpowers. Content that is designed to dynamically adapt to meet customer needs. It’s content that is digital, data-driven, and dynamic. It’s digital in that it is designed and built for a connected world. It is data-driven in that can be connected to — and integrated with — enterprise data resources. And, it’s dynamic in that it can automatically respond to individual customer needs.
During this opening keynote presentation (originally delivered at the Intelligent Content Conference in San Francisco, March 2015), Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, and co-founder of the Intelligent Content Conference will explore the need for intelligent content in the Experience Age. You’ll discover why our current processes are insufficient, and what some companies are doing to overcome traditional publishing roadblocks.
Emerging Trends in Visual Content Marketing with Adam HelwehScott Abel
Did you know that the average human brain processes information that is more visual up to 60,000 times faster than text? But wait! Text is visual right? Not in the same way. Photos, videos and other visual mediums communicate on a whole 'nother level than a paragraph of text. The rise of visual content marketing over the last couple of years has been driven by bevy of platforms and tools that give little excuse to not include it into your marketing efforts.
Join Adam Helweh as he identifies these trends, explores the tools and helps you create a more vibrant visual marketing mix for your audience.
You will learn:
• Why is visual content more effective than other types of content
• What emerging trends and tools are driving the use of visual content
• How to go beyond the confines of the static image to make visual content that’s more alive and engaging.

The ROI of Intelligent Content with Mark Lewis, DITA Educator, QuarkScott Abel
You CAN prove the savings possible from moving your unstructured content to intelligent content. The benefits are measurable. Intelligent content combined with a content management system can facilitate savings and improvements in content development, translation, regulations, governance, multi-channel publishing, and quality.
In this session, Mark discusses how the various processes benefit from intelligent content and discusses metrics that prove the benefit. If it hurts, then it's time to calculate the pain — and the relief. This session draws from concepts in Mark's book, DITA Metrics 101, The Business Case for XML and Intelligent Content.
Mark also discusses which metrics you should gather so you can align your plan with corporate strategy and become the "Executive Whisperer."

Content Strategy for Technical Communication and Beyond with Gretyl Kinsey, S...Scott Abel
Content strategy is about so much more than streamlining your content development process—it's about supporting your organization's business goals. To be truly effective, your content strategy should be global. That means breaking down the barriers that keep the different types of content producers in your organization apart.
Your organization creates various kinds of content—technical, marketing, training, and more. Your content strategy may begin with tech comm, but it should also account for these other types of content to present a unified message and better serve your brand. This presentation shows how, with a global strategy, all of your content can work together to help your organization succeed.
Gretyl Kinsey is a technical consultant with Scriptorium Publishing who specializes in content strategy and tech comm tools and technologies. Since joining Scriptorium in 2011, she has been involved with the development and implementation of content strategies for organizations in a variety of industries. She has experience with every step of the implementation process, from customizing transforms to converting legacy content to helping with follow-on support. She also frequently contributes her graphic design skills to the marketing side of Scriptorium. With a background in journalism and visual communication, she is interested in the convergence between technical and marketing communication, and in content strategies that encourage it.

The Future of Technical Communication is Marketing with Scott Abel, The Conte...Scott Abel
Once a prospect buys a product or service, the content they interact with is no longer familiar. The instructions provided don't look, feel, or sound anything like the marketing and sales materials that introduced them to your brand. Neither does the service contract, the warranty, the customer support website, the product documentation, nor the training materials.
The extensive variability in customer experience — and each customer touchpoint — creates a different and inconsistent version of the brand, some that bear little or no resemblance to the brand that executives believe they are building. There are often as many brands as there are touch points.
For no good reason, the content experience changes drastically -- and not in a good way. That's why organizations that recognize the importance of a unified customer experience have started rethinking what it means to be customer-centric.
Some forward-thinking organizations are reorganizing customer-facing content creators into teams under one roof. They're breaking down the barriers — the silos — that prevent them from collaborating; from creating a unified customer content experience.
In this presentation, Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, discusses the challenges of content inconsistency and incongruity, and why he thinks the future of technical communication is marketing.

The Making of 'The Language of Content Strategy' - by Scott Abel, The Content...Scott Abel
Time is in short supply. Deadlines are tight. Resources are even tighter. If you're like most content professionals, you have dozens of great ideas but not enough time, money or experience to bring them to life. But it doesn't have to be this way.
In this content marketing meets intelligent content engineering case study, we will explain how the newly published book, The Language of Content Strategy (XML Press) was created with the help of the crowd, structured XML content, a wiki and a formal content strategy. Attend this session to learn how the two seasoned content strategists enlisted the help of 50 knowledgeable experts to create a printed book, an e-book, a companion website and educational flash cards in record time, all from a single source of content. You'll discover why it's imperative that content professionals —regardless of their area of specialty — understand and leverage the power of advanced information development practices. You'll leave knowing why a repeatable content production system, optimized for productivity and designed to efficiently produce multiple content products simultaneously, is no longer an option, but rather a necessity.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

8. Attention to Details
Jennifer Fregeolle studied her birthday bandana. Then she was blindfolded.
Jennifer correctly reported that her bandana contained the words “Happy
Birthday.” She missed the hats and presents.
Ron then applied some lotion to her right hand and upper lip. Jennifer
correctly identified the lotion. Ron then touched her left hand and asked
what was on her left hand. On the first try Jennifer said “Nothing.” On her
second try Jennifer responded correctly. Jennifer was one of only three
people to solve this puzzle on the second try, ever. Most people require
many tries and hints.
9. Attention to Details
For her next activity, while blindfolded, Jennifer had to
figure out what college Jessica went to without looking in
the program book or any computer… but she could ask
the other participants for help. A member of the
audience, Judy Kessler, suggested that Jessica may have
had a class ring on. Jennifer quickly rejected this idea…
saying Jessica’s ring could not be a class ring… In fact,

18. Selecting
the
Champion
The semi-finalists closed their eyes and the audience
voted by applause for the “Hardest Working
Volunteer.” Jennifer Fregeolle received most of the
applause and was thus elected. Immediately after
winning she was blindfolded After the blindfold was in
place she was told that she won the election to take
the final exam. For her final exam she was to name
everyone in the front of the room and explain what
they did. On her first round she missed Ron and
Jessica, but when asked who she missed she
responded completely naming both Ron and Jessica.
Since Jennifer performed extremely well she received
the Champion award.
