This paper describes the requirements, design, and pilot evaluation of this concept (developed to a technology readiness level of 3) and discusses the results.

The concept focusses on the use of touch screen techniques within each of the following functional areas: autopilot control, navigation, aircraft performance, and systems. The Primary Flight Display (PFD) is the main aviation instrument for the pilots. while retaining all existing controls and displays. Checklist on sides of the pestal in Checklist Holder. This Includes: - VC Screen Reflection Texture. Such a device could be fitted to current flight deck environments and used as an alternative method of interacting with the aircraft, i.e. README: This is a High quality Screen Reflection texture,Carpet replacement,Checklist placement,Logo replacement and ND/PFD Display colour correction profile for the FSL A32X. This paper proposes a novel touch screen concept which enables the crew of single and dual pilot aircraft to interact with various avionic systems throughout a flight using a single tablet-like device positioned in front of each crew member. Much like multi-function displays, primary flight displays are built around a Liquid-crystal display or CRTdisplay device.

This often requires the crew to lean forward or sideways to interact with different displays and makes it harder to make accurate selections, particularly in turbulent conditions. A primary flight display or PFD is a modern aircraft instrument dedicated to flight information. Touch screen technology is already present on the flight deck of various categories of aircraft, with the majority of current solutions based on the use of multiple touch screen displays situated on the main instrument panel and/or the central pedestal.
