OMAN
Well off topic but
the "Dartboard" is the automatic warning system (AWS) which reminds drivers that they've passed a restrictive signal. The system that you are referring to on the trains is known as vigilance and it requires the driver to interact with the controls every minute or cancel a warning if there has been no interaction. If the warning isn't cancelled the brakes come on.
Not sure what sort of cockpit interaction you would expect in the cruise over the Atlantic. Perhaps radio tuning for weather and fuel page on the ECAM or equivalent. There's probably more interaction with the pen and the times crossword!
