GOULI
Do you know the pilot was using a mobile phone actually in intermittent IMC with cranes around, as you scathingly say? I suggest you go back and read the report you refer to carefully. I think you might find it says the pilot had used a mobile phone (to text) in flight, but the time of use almost certainly was not at the time when he was in intermittent IMC, if indeed he was. More likely when on autopilot cruising in the sunshine above the fog, I'd suggest. In which case the mobile phone use was hardly dangerous, whereas using one whilst driving, with obstacles and head-on traffic perhaps just 3 meters away, clearly is.
