Qualification
Glove Qualification
The touchscreen uses capacitive touch technology to sense the proximity of skin to
the display. A glove creates a barrier between the skin and the display glass,
potentially reducing the ability of the display to detect touches.
This procedure qualifies a specific glove for use with the touchscreen. Due to
differences in finger size and glove size, the qualification procedure is specific to the
pilot/glove and GTN combination. Multiple units must be evaluated individually.
GLOVE SELECTION CONSIDERATIONS
•
Thinner gloves perform better than thicker gloves.
•
Leather gloves, and gloves designed specifically for use with capacitive
touchscreen devices, are often found to be acceptable.
•
To improve touchscreen sensitivity while wearing gloves, use the pad of your
finger instead of the tip during touch interactions.
