Ipod's and the FAA

[say again]

One time I briefed a whole approach only to have him come back 5 min later and ask "what runway are they using?"

I say they when I do pay attention!! Im loosing brain cells by the beer.:beer:

Have none of you seen Iron Eagles? Hell Chappy didnt like it but the kid couldn't fly unless he had his music playing.

How would you feel if while wearing your IPOD you missed a radio call that resulted in a violation or accident?

How would you feel if your family was killed on a flight where both pilots had IPODs on and missed a radio call resulting in a mid-air collision? maybe your views would change then.

Would you want your Doctor wearing an IPOD while he is performing open heart surgery on you or your Wife? If something happened, I'm sure your attorney would argue this distracted the surgeon resulting in malpractice.

What about the school bus driver taking your kids on the 4th grade field trip....would you like them concentrating on the task at hand or distracted by an IPOD.

Be a professional. Grow up. Leave the IPOD in the bag while in flight.

Ok. It's simple. Run your ipod sans checkairman and faa above 10k at a volume where you can hear shlt and be smart about it. Duh! Fcuk people. How is this different than listening to Rush Lamebaugh or Stevie Wonder on the ADF. For fcuks sake people let it go. And for the retarded wonderkid that would turn someone in to pro standards or whatnot without saying something to the person first; You need to grow a freaking sack and man up. If you have a problem with me listening to Johnie Mathis, Kool and the Gang, or P. Diddy on my ADF, Ipod, or humming loudly in the intercom, then say something you tool! If I ever miss a radio call while watching Opera or Dr. Phil on my video Ipod, I will stow it and buy the first round. Otherwise......SHUT YOUR DAMN PIE HOLE.

That says it all.

There is a time and place for everything. I like to listen to music but I have figured this out. Cruise is about the only safe place you can do that .

Listening to it from TO to landing is a poor idea. The only time I am going to listen to music is during cruise...there is just to much going on in the other parts of the flight to be listing to music.

I am not against the reading thing either. Lets say you are in cruise for two hours. Who can honestly say they were looking outside for the whole two hours scanning for traffic? If I tried that I would probably have that empty field myopia for at least an hour and a half of it....and not seeing a thing.

If you are reading it's import to keep a scan up. Read, check things out, read. If reading keeps you awake then rock on.

And it took five pages for somebody to mention the ADF. Like listening to stuff in the cockpit is a new thing? I am sure a pilot has never listened to the adf to listen to the games...or Disney channel...what ever floats your boat.

Yeah, I saw a major airline FO in atl with one ipod earbud snaked through the inside of his shirt to his ear...wtf?

Anyways....let the bickering continue

Beer God,
Gee, you sound like a joy to fly with. Do you use that language around you mom?
Also, what the deal with all the beer references in your profile. It's almost like you're a teenager who's just discovered beer. Alright, I gotta go; Opera is about to come on.

What can I say. I love beer. Every time I open my fridge door, it's like the first time all over again. (drinking beer that is)

I usually don't use language like that, but I had a snoot full last night and it seemed appropriate at that moment. See I couldnt even spell Oprah.
