Best Practices - Overview
Human factors in system design
Introduction to touchscreen multifunction displays (MFDs)
Best practice: consider chartplotter (MFD) environmental conditions
Best practice: consider chartplotter (MFD) context
Best practice: consider user capabilities for MFDs
Best practice: when to provide physical switches
Best practice: use switch-guards for critical circuits
Best practice: use of latched and unlatched switches
