What if you are one of the few owners that actually is checked out to fly the airplane....can that person read on the flight deck while you sit in the back? And if you are sitting in the back, can you read?

Hey, sometimes when I fly commercial (unfortunately no all of us have an unlimited supply of $$ and hours), I have seen a PIC or SIC with their iPod headphones on. Makes me wonder.

What is the policy of clients riding up front. Is there an observers seat, and if so can a PAX ride in it, (with crew approval of course).

The FOM specifically prohibits a passenger, even if rated in the aircraft, from sitting in a pilot seat. However, the cockpit jumpseat is frequently occupied by a passenger on the Gulfstream fleet. Ironically, it's usually the white-knucklers who most often request to sit on the jumpseat for takeoff and landing.

But we do have some owners who are typed and do fly the airplane with an instructor.

Copy, paste online news articles and email them to your Blackberry. It's not as good as a book but it helps on a 3-4 hour flight.

However, You guys can't honestly tell me that on an empty leg someones not reading the USA today from the hotel.

Oh yes I can! Try and open that thing in the cockpit of the mighty BeechJet! Like Chris Farley doing Jumping Jacks in that small sportcoat he wears!!!:laugh:

Guitar Guy is not tempted to read in flight, because most of the cruise segment is spent with a scientific calculator plotting the uber perfect mental VNAV descent. I shall never forget watching that process, i think it included a derivative equation and a polynomial or two...
