Abstract
A system and method for controlling a display on an aircraft. An operator interaction with an edge area of a touch screen is identified by a processor unit when a first format of the display is displayed on the touch screen. The edge area extends along an edge of the touch screen. A second format of the display is displayed on the touch screen by the processor unit in response to identifying the operator interaction with the edge area of the touch screen. The second format of the display is different from the first format of the display.
