You can use the BAT switches for an interesting lesson in itself. My students would hit one, then observe that one switch was dark while the other had a message lit up. This of course led them to think that they needed to then push the dark switch, which switched that particular battery OFF again. It would lead to a quick recap of the dark cockpit concept (and the 'read the instructions' bit... the lit up message clearly states 'OFF').

We use a touchscreen based procedure trainer that only accepts one input at a time anyway at the touchscreens are not multi-touch
