Purpose of Document
This purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for thedevelopment of pixelbased and especially touch-screen-based humanmachine interfaces (HMIs) for aircraft cabin systemapplications.
The numbers of functions available in the cabin of commercialaircraft have increased rapidly. Currently, these functions includeelements such as the following:
• Control of the cabin lighting system
• Control of the cabin air-conditioning system
• Monitoring of the door, lavatory, and smoke detectorstatus
• Operation of in-flight entertainment
• Operation of in-flight communication equipment (e.g., GSM,WiFi)
• Creation of cabin defect reports in digital form
Complex touch screen devices provide the HMI for control andindication elements necessary to handle these functions.Standardization of cabin system HMIs will provide consistencywithin the cabin and across the fleet of an airline, reducing thetraining burden for the cabin crew.
This standard may be applied to each HMI on each system’sdisplay or to an integrated display shared among systems (per ARINCSpecification 628, Part 9, Attachment 3).
COMMENTARY
The images of graphical components of the HMI in this documentshould be regarded as examples and should not be used as designtemplates for actual HMIs. Instead, a set of graphical imagesrepresenting the defined HMI components (see chapter 4) in alltheir various states should be created based on the guidelines inthis document as a first step of HMI design.
Design examples in this document are based on a 1024×768 pixeldisplay with a resolution of 72 pixels per inch (PPI).
This Standard is based on languages that are read left-to-right(LTR). For LTR languages, information is generally arranged frommost important (upper-left) to least important (lower-right). Forlanguages that are read right-to-left (RTL), the generalarrangement would be roughly a mirror-image of the LTR arrangement.The guidelines for HMI (e.g., layout and symbols) will need to beadapted for RTL languages.
