Why would they do that? In fact, iPads have become a pilot's best friend for navigation and information purposes. I use my phone as a navigation supplement while I'm flying. If these GPS-enabled devices were banned it would plunge us into the dark ages of ground-based navigation, which we can do, besides the fact that they're all being phased out in favor of GPS.

While I totally agree about these devices not being banned and even the FAA is embracing them to help with making paperless and more data dynamic cockpits they really have little to do with ground based navigation devices which are (besides the real ancient ones like NDB's which are being phased out) are really not going anywhere, not for a very long time. For the moment the GPS is really just supplimenting the aircrafts old navigation systems (IRS with gyros and ground navaid triangulation) and have been for a quite a while now but not phasing them out. Even Boeing recently put out a warning for the use of IAN coupled approaches as it has shown inaccuracies in vertical nav and the papi should be used as confirmation, ground based ILS is still proving much more accurate as is still the only rated "precision" approach.

If the devices were banned (wont be) it would just set pilots back to paper and be a huge shame but the GPS systems of the aircraft (intergrated or a garmin type external device for small aircraft) wont change. Hell, many larger aircraft still have the electronic flight bag, which phased out paper years ago.

So are they forced to turn such devices off during takeoff/landing just like the passengers? :odd:
 
Errrrrm, you guys do understand it's just a joke? Don't you?

Also it probably just meant about mobile phones. Meaning making calls whilst driving (flying).

No, cause they're using them in aid, that's where their charts are stored. You know the passengers can put their device into airplane mode and keep it on.

That depends on the airline. The last couple I've been on have told everyone to not keep their devices on airplane mode even. We were supposed to shut them completely off.

I've had a couple trips the same way.

Yes sir.:) I moved here about 6 years ago now. Me and some friends were just up at Powderhorn last weekend. Fun times.
 
Yeah I miss that area. Probably going back when my apartment lease is up. A friend offered me a job and I just might take it.

You know there's actually such a thing as "sand engineering", right? Its called Sedimentation/coastal engineering.

That's not a colloquial discipline as far as I'm concerned.

1 - Sleep with the models.
2 - Be invisible.
3 - Cheeto-fingers. Tasty, and I guess you could wear gloves.
4 - Sit naked in the room.
5 - Wipe with Saran wrap. It's not that bad.
6 - Smell a fart all day.
7 - Shut my hands in doors. Not that I open many to be honest.
8 - Morgan Freeman. "Otherwise, shoot this 🤬!"
9 - Watch with my parents. Otherwise, I would be scarred for life.
