I can't get the screen on my phone to react correctly half the time. I don't want a touch screen or virtual keypads in the cockpit. I don't really care for Jeppesen charts on iPads, but I seem to have been outvoted by the herd.
I fly a touch screen aircraft and would say that it's not necessarily better or worse than buttons and knobs - Just different with it's own set of pro's and con's. In my case, the more critical basic functions have a knob / button redundancy, higher level features do not. That said, the touch screen controllers have 4X redundancy so it only gets interesting after you lose your third controller.
Infotainment system touchscreens are difficult to use in cars when the roads are rough, I can’t imagine dealing with one in an airplane cockpit during turbulence.
Yes, this is drive me crazy in bumpy air trying to use an MFD in a low-alt piston plane. But it's OKAY (more or less) if the screen has a wrist-rest, or ridge for your other fingers to rest on and steady your extended arm. My Chevy Volt (Gen 1) has this on its MFD. Kinda hard to explain. But it works well on rough roads -- no problem. Not sure if it was designed this way, or just a coincidence.
Yeah, this scares me.
I would hope/assume that any touch functions would have to have a redundant non-touch option, or else one in-op touchscreen could ground the a/c.
