Abstract

Touch screen operation is simple and intuitive. The application of touch screen technology in the cockpit of civil aircraft can save valuable cockpit space and facilitate the training of new generation flight crew who are familiar with consumer electronic products. Furthermore, with the help of smart design, touch-screen technology can reshape flight deck control panel layout and even achieve the integrated design of control panel, synoptic pages, electronic checklist and visual alert. This paper mainly introduces analysis on potential application area of touch screens in cockpit, common gestures defined appropriate for aviation purposes in cockpit, and their associating operation and usage scenarios. Analysis on the human-factor impacts of using touch-screen technology in the cockpit is also given in this paper.
