Listening to Music on the Flight Deck - Safety Issue? FAA/Company Aware?

Rock n Roll

I've been with Captains who love to blast good ole rock and roll!

But seriously, if it is a problem, just discuss it candidly.

Meet another rocker, Miz KK!

I should have added in my previous post that I have a panel mount XM piped in through the Bose headsets. Ipod would be out of the question for me if I can't mute it. But, I'm so old fashioned, I barely know what an Ipod is. Guess I'm showing my age... <sigh>

Thanks arerromat! What would flying be without some music> It doesn't have to be too loud, and the music is usually "Heading for the highway" "Born to be wild"! You just have to know when to appropriately play it. Some of these flights are 12 hours long! Who doesn't mind a song or two? Especially over the ocean, can be very long and boring, a little music is just as refreshing as a hot cup of tea or a fresh brewed coffee!

The guys get tired and sleepy, as a cabin attendant I usually stay awake as a crew member, we listen to music or just good conversation or they teach me how to navigate, these are on empty flights or positioning back flights!

Welcome, Rock and Rollers!

WOW. Navigate?

Well, they have taken the yoke away from me and replaced it with a tray table. Great for holding the laptop and playing the iTunes library.

Our Opspecs prohibit listening/viewing entertainment radio or video or reading non-professional material on the flightdeck. One of our regular passengers who has a private FlexJet share recently advised us that he reported his Flex crew for such activity in his airplane as he viewed it to be unsafe.

Rez O lewshun,

I bet your a spark plug of fun to fly with. I have no problem reading or listening to music as long as we are in good weather and normal cruise. Never will I do it when there is anything that requires more then normal amounts of attention, ie icing or penetrating a line of storms.

One more note, congradulations to the poster for the Summa Cum Laude! You deserved it! I noticed that that after you posted on your concern about music on board aircraft. This is such a high honor in school, are you now a pilot yourself sir, or desiring and working on your ratings? Either way, many of us, wish you the best and success in your career, although we may listen to music, we are still sharp and very understanding!

Thanks for your post!

Don't get too excited honey. It got me nowhere fast. There's no aviation career for me. Not after the huge frack up that I was blessed with from CAPT. I'm just here for the beer and laughs. Cheers!

So you have to be able to listen to your music to have fun.....

What ever happened to job satisfaction? Not enough?

Finally, would you listen to your Ipod during an FAA enroute inspection? yes/no?

Didn't you guys see the movie "Iron Eagle" He flew so much better when he was listening to his music.

Rez- you ever look at a newspaper during cruise?
