ABSTRACT
Th e aim of this report is to answer the following question: Are HMSs usable for accommoda tion studies on crew stations? Th e answer to this question was obtained through the present verifi cation and validation study conducted jointly by the U.S. Air Force and TNO Human Factors. Oudenhuijzen and Hudson (2000) defi ned procedures for verifi cation and validation of HMSs in the front crew station of the F-16D. Th e core methodology of the verifi cation and validation eff ort was a comparison of results

from a live subject fi eld study to those obtained via HMSs in the digital realm. Th e verifi cation and validation procedure consisted of two separate phases:
In the verifi cation phase, HMS anthropometry was compared to the corresponding body measurements on eight subjects.
