KNOWLEDGE, FAMILIARITY:
KEYS UNLOCK THE REALM OF
THE TOUCH-SENSITIVE
For newer, younger pilots who
face touching a screen icon to control
functions poses a relatively small
challenge. Many of these folks already
grasp menu logic, for example, and the
layering of controls and screen displays
available with various touch inputs.
As one veteran pilot told me, older
pilots grasp the difference thanks to
learning the interface of his smartphone
- and a grandson's tablet. Of course,
some pilots - and they seem to span an
age range - remain unconvinced.
Those most baffled experience
their confusion when an icon
vanishes - or appears - or when they
can't restore a screen conveniently
reduced to a small icon in full view,
waiting for the user to notice and tap
it back into view.
The mantra echoes up and down
the line, from avionics makers to
instructor pilots to those safety
officials and researchers who
accumulate the statistical snapshots
that reveal our safety progress as a
community.
Lately, cockpit distractions seem
more prevalent in safety discussions,
reports and statistics. Some see this
as a simple parallel to a similar issue
among drivers and their smartphones.
Others see the issue as a reflection of
the lack of preparedness some pilots
bring to their new touch-the-glass
avionics systems.
The feedback is about as universal
as the 24-hour day: Don't do it. Just
don't.
Learn; train; practice. That's the
advice of many avionics makers and
flight instructors.
