pax use of electronic equipment
Part of my companys PA goes along the lines of "electronic equipment may interfere with the aircraft systems and can only be used when the seatbelt sign is turned off".
I was wondering why?
I guess its not because using your laptop interferes with the seatbelt sign, which was my first thought.
Is it because they don't want you listening to your ipod or playing solitaire during takeoff and landing when, if anything is
going to go wrong, they want your full attention.
Also......something else I've noticed recently.
Flying in VMC. Theres a cloud ahead. We fly through the cloud. As we pass through the cloud(and it only seems to happen above 220 ias) the wind noise in the cockpit seems to increase. Ok, sure coluds are water vapour and therefore more dense than thin air, but surly there not that dense.
