The Center for Applied Human Factors in Aviation (CAHFA) has as its mission the enhancement of safety in the nation’s airspace system through applied human factors research, systems design, and training strategies. Chartered in 1990, CAHFA is a research consortium established between UCF and Charter partner Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, Florida. CAHFA’s professional staff maintains offices on both campuses. The complimentary strengths of the two universities are combined to create a research resource that is without peer for solving aeronautical human factors problems. CAHFA research initiatives are targeted to significantly reduce human factors related accidents and incidents by determining the efficacy of and by developing strategies for achieving improvements in human performance.
