Human Factors in Maintenance is not a new issue. Especially
FAA has done some excellent work, most of which is published on
CD-Rom form. You can also find some of it on the web. The following
site of the CRM Dev. Group includes some valuable references:
http://www.caar.db.erau.edu/crm/resources/index.html#maintenance
Also JAA (European Aviation Authorities) have included in the syllabus of
the Aircraft
Engineer's license (JAR66) Human Factors Knowledge requirements.
That is another good reference point.
Let me know if you want more details. Good luck to your effort.
