Airline pilots of /n/, is it common for you to fly while playing vidya or whatever, especially since handhelds gaming PCs are a thing and onboard WiFi is getting more and more common? I've noticed a significant increase of pilots not listening to the frequency as an ATC in an area control center. Mfs sometimes make me repeat twice, especially when they're just at their cruising level and not descending anytime soon.
Bump
youre just not very comprehensibleplease get speech therapy

>>1905751following up on this, with some self criticism."or whatever" can be excused. it is a common chanism."an ATC" is defensible, from an acronym expansion perspective. However, outside your industry, it sounds extremely awkward and ESL."cruising level" is perhaps the term of art within your profession "flight level 240", etc. it still sounds awkward.
>>1903049no, flight deck is still a sterile area, most everyone i've flown with will be on tiktok/tinder/goybook etc prior to startup and taxi, they might take a picture in cruise and shuffle their bluetooth playlist, then everything gets turned off before initial approach. Jumpseating nobody really cares, as long as you aren't on tinder during takeoff and taxi, but if you showed up with a switch or a PSP as required crew you'd get an earful and probably dance in front of the BCP
>>1905771yeah most i've seen is pilots putting on music through their headset with a splitter. >>1905771i mean, it's possible to do game if you're using a iPad-like device for nav.
>>1905808kek go on APC and ask any of the Delta boomers if they'd put Angry Birds on the company iPad; they'd probably have a stroke "cause da gubbermind is trackin' you through the camera"
>>1905867It's my private plane. My fucking equipment. I'll but fucking angry birds on my nav if I damn well please. (But I won't because it's mobile game trash)
>>1906048What kind of gulfstream do you fly on your head
>>1906050are you retarded
>>1906052If you're flying 121 playing angry birds you might be

>>1905751>>1905753Underrated.

>>1903049every trucker I've drove with in my short foray into the most bullshit career ever watches TV on their phone while driving.
>>1903049If what you sound like in this post is any reflection of what you sound like on ATC, it's no wonder nobody is really listening to you. Word salad.
>>1906058>During all flight time as defined in 14 CFR 1.1, no flight crewmember may use, nor may any pilot in command permit the use of, a personal wireless communications device (as defined in 49 U.S.C. 44732(d)) or laptop computer while at a flight crewmember duty station unless the purpose is directly related to operation of the aircraft, or for emergency, safety-related, or employment-related communications, in accordance with air carrier procedures approved by the Administrator.So does that mean you can use an old handheld like a gameboy that doesn't have an internet connection?
>>1903049thanks, I'll never get myself into a plane anymore
>>1903049No, not really. It's pretty weird - maybe ipad games cause we have that, and iphone because it goes 1:1 with foreflight, but no, not really play games just bumble, messaging apps and such.
>>1905771this, 100% is most legit post here, so many people larp online, but basically as FO I fuck around all day on bumble and post days on IG so thirsty girls get my attention, but even then I don't use inflight wifi, more fun to just compare and trade phones with one another so we can keep it up.
>>1913027according to 91.13, no
>>1905751>/n/ English grammar
>>1903049>not listening to the frequency as an ATC in an area control center.This seems like a LARP -- that are you are an alleged insider but are reduced to asking imagined airline pilots on 4chan. I work in the railroad industry as carman/car inspector. I am not an engineer that drives the trains, but if I wanted to ask them something I would just ask them in real life/meatspace and not 4chan since as someone working in close proximity in the same company I have access to engineer and have come to know some of them over the years. That said I have ridden in the cabs of trains on NJ Transit with a few engineers I know personally and they have a no cellphone policy and they will get in serious shit if they are caught. NJ Transit will punish them and they could incur further FRA fines. Sometimes they even get punished when using a cellphone when they are on duty but not currently driving a train, which is a bullshit policy that NJ Transit instituted in excess of the FRA's CFR guidelines from what I understand.
>>1913027Often they use the verbiage "personal electronic device" in the CFR guidelines, like here in the railroad guidelines, I assume it is the same in the civil aviation side:>https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-II/part-220/subpart-CAnd the CFR guidelines are just guidelines. They establish a bare minimum, but your employer can go above and beyond the guidelines. As a carman(mechanic for the trains) for NJ Transit I can get fired for using a smartphone if upper management catches me and if they want to enforce their bs internal rules. But only some douchey members of management do that, how it works operationally is that when they seek to punish a bad worker or someone who constantly makes mistakes and made several recent mistakes, they use tactics like enforcing our cellphone and personal electronic policy to a T. I know an engineer(driver/pilot of a train) who between runs was waiting in his train cab hours before his next scheduled run and was caught using his smartphone and put on the street for a considerable amount of time and fined. That is not in the CFR guidelines, the FRA only cares that engineers not use a smartphone when they are actively behind the throttle and controls of a train in service, but NJ Transit is going above and beyond. So we face a Kafkaesque unrealistic work environment where everyone if violating some policy but it is not enforced.
