3.3. THE TOUCHSCREEN TABLET
The Intel® based Windows® touchscreen tablet is directly mounted on the remote
control unit of the Intel® Cockpit Controller (CTR) and cannot be removed. It serves as
video monitor, displays general flight information and telemetry data, and allows the
user to activate automated functions. The battery of the CTR provides power to the
touchscreen tablet as well.
To switch the touchscreen tablet ON or OFF, you must push the button located at the
top edge of the touchscreen tablet on the right side of the frame for a few seconds (see
“Preparing the CTR” on page 97).
After switching the touchscreen tablet ON, you will initially see the blue welcome
screen, which, after a few seconds, will change to display the Preflight Checklist where
the most important safety aspects are listed.
When starting the touchscreen tablet for the first time, before the Preflight Checklist
you will see the window for time and date settings (see following figure).
