In early February, SAE International published a new Aerospace Recommended Practice specification – ARP60494 Touch Interactive Display Systems: Human Factors Considerations, System Design and Performance Guidelines.

 

The specification was formed by committee and included members of the Emerging Technologies team from GE Aviation. The team was able to use their experience on the Open Flight Deck project to make significant contributions to the ARP, which looks at direct touch interactive electronic display systems installed in the flight deck/cockpit for use by pilots.
