The A380 cockpit has eight identical large interactive displays on the main instrument panel, with cursor control provided through a track-ball.
The displays provide a much larger screen area with clearer presentations, and they are augmented by a HUD (head-up display) that increases pilot situational awareness, particularly during the approach and landing phases.
