Reminds me of the time they had a small birthday celebration in the cockpit during a flight and the captain said: "Boy, I have already had three drinks. Better take it slow, I have my car parked at the airport and have to drive home ..."

For all those that think electronic gadgets cannot interfere with avionics...
Airlines ordered to replace 1,300 Boeing cockpit displays over Wi-Fi interference http://www.chicagotribune.com/busine...html?track=rss " The FAA said the display units were susceptible to interference from Wi-Fi frequencies. Independent tests conducted by the agency and Boeing showed blanking on the screens when Wi-Fi devices were used near them. The displays also are susceptible to transmissions from mobile phones, weather radar and mobile satellite communications, the FAA said." |

That's got to be a problem now that airlines are replacing flight books with iPads.

I'll be flying in November. So I'll know for sure if I have to turn off my Reader on takeoff. I'm hoping not.

This summer I've traveled to/from Germany, Lithuania and Estonia. I haven't had to take it off at any moment, only WiFi off.
