Embodiments of a touchscreen-enabled electronic device (referred to as a "digital pilot notepad"), methods, and program products facilitating the entry of handwritten pilot data into one or more flight deck systems (30) are disclosed. In one embodiment, the digital pilot notepad (20) includes an avionics interface (28) over which alphanumeric input data is transmitted to a flight deck system, a touchscreen device (26), and a controller (22) operably coupled to the avionics interface and to the touchscreen device. The controller is configured to digitally capture a handwritten pilot note (72, 142, 170) written on the touchscreen device by a pilot, convert the handwritten pilot note to alphanumeric input data (82, 144) in a format compatible with the flight deck system, and subsequently submit the alphanumeric input data to the flight deck system over the avionics interface.
