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.

> or whatever,
get rid of this

>especially since handhelds
use singular "handheld" here

>gaming PCs are a thing and onboard WiFi is getting more and more
just leave it at "more"

>common?
>I've noticed a significant increase of
should be "increase in"

>pilots not listening to the frequency as an ATC
"an ATC"? Seriously?

> in an area control center. Mfs
please do not use the "Mfs [statement]" construct

>sometimes make me repeat twice
This should be "repeat myself"

>, especially when they're just at their cruising level
altitude. cruising altitude.

>and not descending anytime soon.

please update and revert sirs

following 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.

no, 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

yeah most i've seen is pilots putting on music through their headset with a splitter.

i mean, it's possible to do game if you're using a iPad-like device for nav.

>>1905808
kek 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"

>>1905867
It'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)

it's not your plane, it's the company's

If 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.

>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?

>>1903049
thanks, I'll never get myself into a plane anymore
>>
>>1903049
No, 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.
>>
>>1905771
this, 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.
