List of recommendations on mobile app foo be used by amateur pilots.

Mobile App

  • Text will be short, sweet and concise, with no extra words to allow all content to fit on each page to avoid the need for swiping.
  • Content will be large and concise so that it is legible on a cell phone.
  • Words visually similar that are in close proximity will not be present avoid confusing the eye as well as the viewer’s ear.
  • Content info will be grouped as much as possible, grids used for visual structure, and chunked (larger blocks of info will be broken into smaller chunks) to lighten the cognitive load.
  • Tracking (space between letters) slightly looser than normal for ease of reading.

Printed Directions and Maps

  • Use matte paper to reduce glare on the page.
  • Use slightly off white paper to reduce glare as well.
  • Use a large Font size somewhere between 12 and 24 pt.
