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.

Refer to the AXIS™ AFMS for information concerning specific glove types for use with the touchscreen. Due to differences in finger size and glove size, the qualification considerations are specific to the pilot/glove and aircraft display configuration. If multiple display unit models are installed on the airframe, units must be evaluated individually.
