Distraction from the primary task of taxying safely.

These days airline crews are given far, far too many tasks to do while taxying out to the runway.

It's become a macho thing: "Yes we can handle any task you give us while navigating to the end of the runway".

But be honest. Who hasn't looked up while taxying - and got a bit of a shock? Yes?
Albert Driver, well said! Me too!
