iPads OK for use during all phases of flight?
The FAA has just given approval to American Airlines for pilots to use iPads containing their flight manuals in the cockpit "in all phases of flight." Flight attendants are to get them soon, too. Would it be logical to conclude, then, that passengers, too, could use them during all phases of flight, or at the very least not have to turn them off during take offs and landings? American Airlines will start transitioning to iPads later this month starting with its Boeing 777 fleet, and it will go entirely digital by the end of 2013.
